How to assemble a Giraffi
Anyone who can turn a screwdriver can do this! Remove parts from carton. Use the padding provided (or whatever else is at hand), place on table or countertop and turn the seat face down on top of the pad. .
Align the connecting plates of the chair legs with the pilot holes on the underside of the seat and fasten firmly with the screws provided using a #2 Philips bit (a screw gun is helpful, but a regular screwdriver will do).
Start the end of the handle through the hole in the seat top and fasten with the button-head bolt using the hex key provided.
Inserting the handle
If you can push the handle in enough to start the bolt, the bolt will pull the handle
through until secure.
* Make sure to start the bolt by hand for several turns to avoid crossthreading. (A cross-threaded bolt makes assembly impossible until repaired by recutting the threads with a tap (standard 8mm) and replacing the damaged bolt.)
If you cannot start the handle into the hole, insert a rolled-up piece of sandpaper into the hole in the seat and work it back and forth until the handle will start.
The handle should curve away from and be in line with the long axis of the seat.
Note: If the bolt does not start easily, loosen the screws on the rear leg assembly, start the bolt, then tighten all fasteners securely.
