XPand offers two types of end legs, Tapered legs and Rectangular legs. Though the legs
look different, the assembly process is same.
To assemble the Return components to the Stretcher bar, Return bracket (XP-RB) is used.
The Return components can be assembled to Single bench and Double bench. The
Assembly Instructions to assemble Return components to these configurations are same.
Step 1: Prepare a large floor space to put the XPand order together. Unpack the
parts and check to see if all the XPand parts are present as per the sales order pick
list.
