Piano Duet Assembly Instructions
Duet Series
Piano Assembly Approach
These instructions are illustrated for a Piano 10
Duet Computer ConferenceTable. Piano Duet is
available in other configurations, but the same
principles apply. Observe that there are curved
end sections, straight sections, and side transition
sections, plus hinged lids and Doric column legs.
If you are assembling a different model, you might
have…
• more straight sections, or
• the straight sections might have 3 ipIT®
stations instead of 2, or
• the side transition sections might be a slightly
different shape, or
• the side transition sections might be expanded
to include a ipIT®station, or
• there may be 4 lids instead of 2.
Given these variations, use these instructions as a
guide for approach.
These instructions are based on a specific custom-
er’s requirements. Because each Piano Computer
ConferenceTable is made to order, there may be
differences in your hardware and part geometries.
2 People Required
Subassemblies need to be carefully lifted into position and a
second set of hands is needed to stabilize assembly.
Protect the table surfaces.
Assemble in an area protected by carpet, or lay down pack-
ing blankets to prevent scratching table top surfaces.
Assemble the Piano Table First.
Install ipIT®FIH or FIK stations AFTER
Piano is assembled. The weight of the ipIT®mechanics
works against assembling the Piano safely. Consult ipIT®
Installation Instructions for installing ipIT®Stations, but
ignore the instruction to install ipIT®before desk assembly.
This assumes a conventional desk, not the Piano.
Plan Ahead
Know where the table will be positioned in the room. The
table is assembled in sections that are small enough to fit
in most elevators, hallways and doorways. Once fully as-
sembled, the table should not be moved. The table should
be assembled in its final position. Assembled sections may
be lifted and moved together carefully. Have one person per
section lift and move assembled table sections. Connecting
brackets should be installed loosely until fully assembled,
then tightened from one end to the other, leveling & fine
tuning seams for each section.

Tools, Bolts and Screws
Use a power driver with 5/8” hex head driver
and a Phillips No. 2 screwdriver.
The 5/8” Hex/Phillips Head bolts are used to
install brackets and legs.
The Phillips Head wood screws are used to
install the lid struts.

Approach to Assembly
The diagram on the facing page shows how all of the
top sections, leg plates, transition plates, connector
plates, lid brackets, and the strut support beam
assembly ultimately fit together. It is not possible to
assemble the table completely and ip it over.
Assembly must be accomplished in sections.
When you unpack your table section on a soft,
carpeted or blanketed section of oor, you will
notice labels with letters and arrows. These were
applied at the factory when the connector plates
were fitted. These letters do not indicate the
order of assembly. They show which seams are
formed when the sections are put together as
they were in the factory. Edge A meets edge A.
Edge B meets edge B. Edge D meets Edge D.
Locate an end section and a straight section that match
up. Use a pair of connector plates and bolt the sections
together using 6 hex bolts for each plate. Do not install
the plates torqued down all the way. The plates will be
snugged up when all top sections are completely assem-
bled and the table is in its final position.

Bolt Legs and
Connector Plates
You are making a tripod to which
the rest of the table will be assem-
bled, section by section.
The Doric column legs that install
at these locations do not have
wire management holes. The
square leg plate is installed on
these legs. Use 6 hex head bolts
to install each leg.
You may fully torque the leg bolts,
but do not fully torque the connec-
tor plates.
The connector plates being in-
stalled are ready to accept the
next section of table. The two
sections being connected will be
turned over on its feet, before the
next section is connected.

Carefully Turn the
Table Over
This 2-section tripod can now
be moved to its position in the
room. Be careful to not put
stress on the connector plates
in this process. Lift and sup-
port the seam.
The next step will be to repeat
this assembly for the other
end.
