Step 1 of 49

First thing you want to do is, here's all the parts, take it out of the box, there's not too many parts.

Step 2 of 49

And what we're going to do is we're going to find this side and we're going to find the slat. So make sure the second slat is the Velcro one and that they curve, you know, kind of up towards you.

Step 3 of 49

So here's the one piece here, make sure that the bottom piece is correctly aligned.

Step 4 of 49

So basically, the screw sticking out of the bottom, then go ahead and put the slats in.

Step 5 of 49

So like I said, the Velcro should be the second one from the top and it should be curving towards you.

Step 6 of 49

You know, curving with the curve of the actual chair. Now find the other side and go ahead and line those up and put those in as well.

Step 7 of 49

Once we've got that lined up, then what we're going to do is we're going to screw these in.

Step 8 of 49

So there's eight screws and note that these are the skinny ones. So there's some thick and skinny ones that look really similar.

Step 9 of 49

So make sure it's the skinny ones. So that's the ones on the left here. They're really hard to tell.

Step 10 of 49

But yeah, the skinny ones are the ones we're going to line up to put these in. So what I did is I put all eight in.

Step 11 of 49

I just started all of them because the instructions say to not use a drill, but I'm going to do it anyways.

Step 12 of 49

I just have it on a really low setting so it doesn't damage anything. Once you get all eight started, then I just use my drill to tighten them up.

Step 13 of 49

That way it's just faster. Go ahead and do that on all eight screws here.

Step 14 of 49

And then what we want to do is we want to attach the bottom piece.

Step 15 of 49

So it's two screws and now these are the thicker ones. So be careful of that.

Step 16 of 49

You want two thicker ones. So go ahead and line that up. Get that screw started.

Step 17 of 49

And then go ahead and do the other one as well. If you want to put it down at this point, you can.

Step 18 of 49

It might make this screw a little bit easier. Once you get those started, then what I did is I put it down and I'm going to use my drill to tighten those up.

Step 19 of 49

Once we've done that, then go ahead and put these slats in the bottom.

Step 20 of 49

And this is just going to give support to the actual seat. So note that they curve up.

Step 21 of 49

And these again are thicker screws. So go ahead and put the slats in.

Step 22 of 49

Get those lined up. And then go ahead and put the four screws in.

Step 23 of 49

So three of them will be easy because there's not tension on the actual seat here.

Step 24 of 49

So go ahead and get three of them started. And then what I did for the fourth one, since there was tension, it was just me, is I used my shoulder here to brace the chair pool with my left hand.

Step 25 of 49

And then I started it with my right hand. That way it would line up. Because if you don't, then there's going to be too much tension and it's not going to line up.

Step 26 of 49

Then go ahead and screw them in tight after you started them. And then take this screw here and this washer and that peg.

Step 27 of 49

And we're going to line this up and put the legs on. So there's two different screws that look kind of the same too, but this one's a little bit easier because we're just going to use a shorter one on the left and the peg and the washer.

Step 28 of 49

So there is a left and a right leg. So this is the left leg. So note the orientation.

Step 29 of 49

You see the holes on the side here. That top hole is where you want to line up with the peg at the end of the seat.

Step 30 of 49

So put the peg in, line up that hole and put that in place. And then you can screw in the top piece with the washer.

Step 31 of 49

So put that washer on with the screw in there. Get that started.

Step 32 of 49

And then go ahead and use your drill and tighten it up. Next, what we're going to do is we're going to put these pieces on and these are support pieces.
