## Guide

### 1. Parts and Tools

The leg frame with its two leg pairs crossed, the hoop ring, the tray, four screws and the 3 mm hex key, laid out on a rug\. Tap a part to see its name\.

Build it on a soft surface such as a rug\. The table holds at most 10 kg: never sit or stand on it\.

### 2. 1 · Upper Cross Screw

Stand the frame on its feet\. Put the long M5 × 15 screw \(123451\) into the countersunk hole where the two upper bars cross, and turn it clockwise with the hex key until it is tight\.

Use the long screw here, not an M5 × 10\.

### 3. 2 · Lower Cross Screw

Fix the low cross the same way: an M5 × 10 screw \(122202\) into the hole where the two rods cross, turned clockwise with the hex key\.

### 4. 3 · Lay On the Ring

Lower the hoop ring onto the upper bars so it drops into the notches beside the legs, its two flat tabs over the holes in the bar ends\.

The countersunk side of the tabs faces up\. If you see a plain face, turn the ring over\.

### 5. 3 · First Tab Screw

Put an M5 × 10 screw through one tab and tighten it clockwise with the hex key\. Turn the key round the side away from the leg\.

### 6. 3 · Second Tab Screw

Fit the last M5 × 10 screw through the other tab and tighten it the same way\.

### 7. 4 · Lay On the Tray

Lower the tray straight down between the legs until it rests on the ring\. It sits loose, so you can lift it off and carry it as a tray\.

Maximum load 10 kg\. Check the screws now and then and tighten them when needed\.
