Step 1: Take the seat piece and bolt it into the front leg assembly piece. Make sure the two tabs
are facing downward on the seat and the arch with the heart is towards the bottom on the front
leg assembly. You want to use two bolts (one at a time) and screw them in from the top of the
seat. Make sure these bolts are securely tightened.
Step 2: Take one of the arm pieces (left or right) and line up the dowel with the hole right at the
front of the seat and push it into place. Make sure the grooves on the arms are facing inward
when assembling them. Then take one of the bolts and bolt the arm piece into the seat from the
bottom of the seat at the front. Repeat this step with the remaining arm piece. Do not tighten
these bolts completely, leave them slightly loose for now.

Step 3: Take the two spindles with fittings and bolt them into the front leg assembly (one at a time).
These two spindles should be bolted into the holes located on the back, at the very bottom of the
front leg assembly. When bolting the spindles on, make sure to hold them steady. Do not turn the
spindles to help tighten the bolts, turn the bolts only. Do not tighten these bolts completely, leave
them slightly loose for now.
Step 4: Now take the two regular spindles (one at a time) and piece them in the holes located on
the back of the front leg assembly above the spindles with fittings. These two spindles do not get
bolted in so to help keep them in place for now you can rest them against the two tabs on the
bottom of the seat piece like shown below.

Step 5: Take the back piece and line up the dowels on the seat and the arms with the holes on
the back piece. Push the dowels into place so that the back piece sort of locks into place. Then
line up the spindles with the holes on the back piece. Once everything is lined up take the
remaining six bolts and bolt the back piece into the already assembled parts of the chair. There
are three holes on each leg on the back of the back piece. You can completely tighten these
bolts. You can now go back and tighten the rest of the bolts that were left loose. Please make
sure that all bolts are completely tightened before using the high chair.
Step 6: Now take the tray piece and slide it into place on the chair. To do this, simply slide it along
the grooves on the arms of the chair. The bottom of the tray is the side with the two long tabs and
the top has the graphics on it. Make sure the graphics are facing upward. When sliding the tray in
make sure the long tabs slide in last, so the flat part slides in first.
