Assembly Instructions (Typically 20 minutes)
We have made these instructions as simple as possible with the confidence
that you'll print this page and see how easy this sturdy bench is to put together.







You will need the following tools:
  • Drill motor with Phillips head Bit.
  • A 9/16 Socket and Ratchet.
  • 5" C Clamp (included with your purchase).

Step 1:
Removed contents carefully from shipping carton and inspect each piece
for        damages. Take an inventory of all listed items. Contact us
immediately, should something be missing though highly unlikely.

Step 2:
Organize your parts on a flat level surface (Garage or Basement floor).
Place the Bench top bottom up.










As shown above: Take one leg at a time and place in each corner. All Counter
sink hole should be facing the rear of the bench. Using the C - Clamp, secure
the position of the leg. Place Lag Bolts with Washers in each hole and HAND
install with your ratchet and 9/16 socket. Caution: Do not use a drill motor!
This can be to powerful and crack portions of the wood. Continue the same
method on all four legs.

Step 3:
Turn the Bench "right side up". Since the Bench is heavy, it will be helpful to
have someone assist you. Be Safe!.
Take the bottom shelf unit and line the Back of the unit on the floor to the front
legs of the bench. Lift the bench front and nudge the front legs into the side
slots. Let the bench down and slide the shelf back toward the rear legs.












Gently lift each corner and place the 3 1/2" shim wedges in each corner. Place
3" lag screws at each counter sink hole and using your drill motor install each
screw.




Step 4: Place the Three Compartment Side Pocket any where it is convenient
for you. You may wish to place the bench in or near it's final destination before
determining placement. Install as shown below.
