STEP 1

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 barrel-

shaped 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 clarification 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.
F. Attach Back Left leg in same manner as in

illustration 1C.
G. Repeat for other side panel.
