M-120 Tete-a-Tete Swing Assembly Instructions
NOTE: Please check contents and read directions carefully before assembly. If any items are
missing or damaged, do not take the product back to the store. Call Moon Valley customer
service at 313-766-4950 and we will correct the problem as promptly and as efficiently as
possible. Also, checking or cracking of the logs is a natural part of the drying aspect of cedar.
This does not affect the structural integrity of the wood. This natural occurrence enhances the
rustic beauty of the product.

1. Lay pre-assembled seat bottom onto flat surface. Insert pre-
assembled seat back into pre-drilled holes. Note: Each seat back
has a pre-drilled hole on one side. Be sure these holes face inward
on both seats.

2. Insert pre-assembled table top into hole on each side of seat
back (as shown). Next, repeat Step 1 for the remaining seat.
Be sure that the table top is inserted into both seat backs before
securing them to seat bottom. Use 2” screws at both insertion
points to attach seat back to
seat bottom (as shown).
3. Attach angled end of table brace to bottom of table top
brace, and be sure to center the brace as much as possible. Use
2 ½” lag bolt to secure (as shown).
4. Insert 9” dowels into pre-drilled holes in seat bottom. Fold
table down and insert braces into pre-drilled holes in table top
underlay. Use 2” screws to secure both ends to the table top
brace to seat bottom (as shown). Note: Be sure table brace
from Step 3 rests on top of seat bottom when folding table
down (see step 5 for visual).
5. Use 3 3/8” lag bolt to secure angle brace to seat bottom.
Use a 5/16” washer when inserting this lag bolt.

6. Attach both swing arm assemblies to swing seat. Align the two
doweled ends of swing seat with the two holes in the swing arm
assembly. Tap arms into place using rubber mallet or hammer. If
using a hammer, be sure to pad impact area to avoid damage to the
product.
7. Find a comfortable angle for the seat back, use 3 3/8” lag bolts to
secure the arms to the seat backs (as shown). Next, use 2” screws to
secure all doweled insertion points. Use a 5/16” washer when inserting
each of these lag bolts.
8. Attach swing hangers to arm assemblies using 5” lag bolts. Align
pre-drilled holes on swing hanger with pre-drilled holes on swing arm
assemblies (both upper and lower arms).

9. Lay swing legs and to pole on ground, with swing hooks
facing downward. Using pre-drilled holes, install 7 ½” machine
bolts through legs and top pole, using a 5/16” washer at each
end of the bolt. Tighten only with fingers at this point.
10. From machine bolt, measure 32” down swing leg. At this
location, use 4” lag bolts to secure two of the 35” braces to
swing legs. Use a ¼” washer when inserting each lag bolt.
11. Stand frame upright and tighten 7 ½” machine bolts only
enough to allow frame to stand freely. Measure 24” down from
top of swing leg, and 24” in from end of top pole. At these
points, use 4” lag bolts to secure the 24” braces to the swing (as
shown in these two photos). Use ¼” washers on each lag bolt.
Now, tighten 7 ½’ machine bolts firmly.
9. Make certain that swing hooks (on top pole) open outward
(these should be checked periodically for looseness or wear).
Hang swing seat onto these hooks and assembly is complete.
Note: if you have extra hardware left over after assembly, these
may be a problem and your swing may not be safe to use.
Double-check directions to ensure that all hardware is installed
correctly and tightened. If the problem persists, please call
Moon Valley customer service at 313-766-4950.
