1. Lay table top #1 painted side down, on a smooth, flat
surface. Use the shipping container to protect the
painted surface of the table top.

make up the “U” Support and the “U” Leg. Align on
Table Top as shown in Figure 1. Note: “U” Leg is
larger and wider than the U Support. The Uleg should be installed on the end of the table
half with the end rail mounting holes.
3. Put plastic caps #13 on the end of U-leg #2.

Cap sticks above table top surface of table, flip over so shorter

slot of U-clip #18. Slide U-support #7 side to side if
necessary.
9. Insert screw #19 through slot in U-clip #18 and into U-
support #7. Thread it all the way into U-support #7 until
it touches the back of the tube. There should be about 3/
8 inch of screw #19 left sticking out. Repeat for U Leg #2
