1. The Bastion fastening system consists of a steel post (threaded on one end with a

TIPS ON HOW THE BASTION FASTENING SYSTEM WORKS

hole through the shaft on the other end); a Barrel Nut (cylindrical barrel-shaped with
threaded open end & holes through the sides); and a Set Screw (Phillips slot on one end,
pointed on the other)

2. To attach Posts: A) Dip threads of Post in vegetable oil. B) Align threaded end of Post
with hole in wood, tap on slotted end with hard hammer until threads enter, then tighten
down using a flat head screw driver or the provided allen wrench (See the Illus. Bas. 3 for
alternate seating methods). DO NOT TRY TO HAMMER THE POST ALL THE WAY IN AS
IT WILL STRIP THE POST HOLE. C) When solid shaft of Post hits wood, back out
approximately ½ turn until the hole in the posts is properly aligned as per step by step
directions. For example: the holes in the posts on the inside of the drawer front will be
parallel with the long length of the drawer front when properly seated.

3. A) Place a Barrel Nut into the nut access hole, so that the threads in the nut face out.
The small notches on either side of the nut opening, indicate the location of the holes
through the sides of the nut. B) Insert the posts through the end of the braces (or drawer
sides); through the holes in the sides of the nut. When properly aligned, you will see the

hole in the post inside the barrel nut. Post hole should be slightly off-center toward the wood.

4. Insert the Set Screw into the threaded end of the nut and tighten down. The tip of the Set Screw will seek the center of
the hole in the Post as it is tightened down, forcing the Nut toward the main shaft of the Post. This is what tightens the
wooden parts together. Set screws should thread easily – DON’T CROSS THREAD! If Set Screw doesn’t thread easily,
check position of the hole in Post.

Post needs to be screwed deeper.

WRONG!

RIGHT!

5. If the wooden parts are not tight against each other, the Post needs to be screwed a half turn at a time until wood joints
are tight.

STEP 1

Table top L-Bracket holes

ASSEMBLE SIDE PANELS

A. Each side panel consists of two (2) legs, one
(1) top side brace and one (1) Glide Support
Brace. When assembled, diagonal legs will be

the same (i.e. Front Right/Back Left & Front

Left/Back Right). Side panels are identical when
assembled -- the Drawer Glides will determine

left and right sides.

B. Take each of the 4 legs and install two (2)
Bastion Posts per leg, on the side of the leg
which also has two (2) pin holes for the Glide
Support Sticks. Locate post holes. Tap Posts in
with hammer until threads engage wood; turn
Posts down until the solid shaft hits the wood
(All threads are into wood), then back Posts out
until the holes in the Posts are perpendicular to
the long length of the leg (about 1/2 turn).

C. Lay out Front Left leg and one (1) top side

brace as in Illustration 1A. Note the three pilot
holes for the table top sticks are along the top
inside of the top side brace.

D. Take the top side brace and drop two barrel­shaped bronze bastion nuts into the nut access
holes as in illustration 1A. Threaded end-of the
nuts face out. Insert front left leg posts into the

holes in the ends of the brace, through the side
of the barrel nuts, until the holes in the posts

can be seen through the threaded end of the
nuts. Insert the Set Screws into the nuts and
tighten down. The tip of the set screw will seek

the center of the bastion post as it is tightened,
leaving a tight joint. If the joint is loose, check to

make sure the set screw is not cross-threaded
or that the post is out too far (not threaded

into leg deep enough.) See previous page for
Bastion illustrations for clarication of assembly.

E. Insert two 3/4” pins into each end of the glide

support brace. Position brace such that the pilot

holes for attaching the glide are towards the
bottom edge. Insert brace pins into the holes
on the inside of the left front leg as in illustration

1B (4 pilot holes out) with pilot holes off-center

toward the bottom of the leg.

STEP 2
ATTACH DRAWER GLIDES TO GLIDE SUPPORT STICKS

A. Take the Drawer Glides, extend them to their fullest. See illustration 4. The Glide has 3 parts.
Remove the furthest extended part (1) (smallest) by pushing the black plastic lever down – then pull
part out, separating it. This part will attach to the Drawer Side later. Attach the largest parts (2&3) to
the Glide Support Stick using holes as illustrated. Attach with 1/2” #6 pan head screws. About 1 1/4”
of this glide will overlap the Front Leg. See illustration 2B.

B. Repeat with the other side.

The top back brace utilizes the bastion system for attachment. Place the bastion posts into their
positions on the back legs only of both side assemblies.

bottom of the table top with 1 1/4” #8
screws, 2 per stick countersunk holes
on top of the stick are up so that screw

through Table Top Sticks. Three
screws per stick.

STEP 6
ATTACH CASTERS &
BOTTOM SHELF

With unit still upside down, tap

caster sockets into holes in leg

ends until seated, then tap in

casters. Hit on metal part of caster
to seat. Locking casters usually go

on the front, non-locking casters
on the back. Use 1 1/4” #8 screws

to attach shelf to the inside of the
4 legs. Keep unit upside down for
step 7.

STEP 7
ATTACH TOWEL BARS

Note: Unit should still be inverted

See Illustrations. Screw brass towel bar posts into the top side braces and the drawer front using

1 1/4” #8 screws. Attach pipe holder by sliding supports over posts and secure with tiny set screws

using allen wrench provided. Slide towel bar through holes in supports and secure in place with
set screws. Bar should be equidistant on either side of the supports. Tap end caps into place. See
Illustration 7C.

up. Attach front using the Bastion System. Holes in the posts will be parallel to the long edge of the
drawer front. See illustration.

B. Attach the drawer glide to the drawer sides with 1/2” #6 screws in the places indicated in the
illustration. Black plastic lever will face outward. Glide will be up against the back of the drawer front.

drawer sides are not
used in this model.
