Provided only with 48 in. benches.
If your bench is equipped with
two shelves, one will be wider
than the other. The wider one
should be installed rst at the
lower position.
Marks have been punched
on the inside faces of the
legs and under the seat.
They identify which leg goes
on what side. Be sure to
install the legs accordingly.

Don’t forget to install the
legs according to their
marking: the two punched
marks should go together
and the same goes for the
single punched holes.

3. Only for 48 inches benches
Install the two corner
brackets using the eight (8)
provided screws. Start with
the screws that go under
the seat and then with the
screws that go in the legs.
Slide the shelf trusses over
the legs, starting from the
narrow part, underneath the
seat.
If your conguration has 2
shelves, start with the wider
one. By comparing the two,
you’ll see one is wider than
the other.

The 48” trusses have insets
cut at an angle. When in-
stalled, this angle should be
parallel to the angle of the
leg. Otherwise, the shelf top
surface won’t be horizontal.
5. Only for 48 inches benches
Lower the shelf until it’s
aligned to its corresponding
hole. The rope should feel
quite tight at this point.

Repeat the operation for the
other side of the shelf and
the higher shelf if you have a
two shelves conguration.
Push one side of the shelf so
it goes lower, under the holes
on the corresponding leg so
you have room to insert the
brass pin.
There will be a bit of resis-
tance in the shelf due to the
rope tension. This is normal.
Once all the brass pins are
installed, this makes for a
very solid shelf assembly.
Push!
IMPORTANT!
The brass pin at side should
face towards the oor, not
up.

Unscrew the wing nuts so
the rods sit deeper into the
wood block.
This allows to shorten the
overall length of the
tensioner unit so you can
insert it between the shelf
trusses.
If it’s not already done, place
the two threaded rods and
wing nuts into the wood
block so you get the same
assembly as the image to the
left.

9. Only for 48 inches benches
Align the tensioner rods with
the holes located in the
middle of the shelf trusses,
on the interior side.
Screw the nuts until the tips
of the rods reach the bottom
of the holes pierced in the
trusses.
The more you screw the
nuts, the more the trusses
spread. Adjust the nuts so
the trusses are parallel.
