Kivik Ottoman Assembly Instructions: Step-by-Step Guide
Transform your living space into a cozy, functional haven with the Kivik Ottoman, a versatile piece from IKEA that combines style and practicality. This ottoman not only adds a touch of elegance to your room but also offers extra seating and storage space. To ensure you get the most out of your Kivik Ottoman, we've compiled these comprehensive instructions to guide you through the assembly process.
Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary tools and components at hand. The Kivik Ottoman comes with the following parts and tools:
- Ottoman frame
- Legs
- Screws and washers
- Allen key
- Fabric cover (if applicable)
Assembling the Ottoman Frame
The first step is to assemble the main frame of the Kivik Ottoman. This will serve as the base for your ottoman.
Begin by laying out the frame components. You'll notice that the frame is made up of two long sides and two shorter ends. Align these pieces so that the grooves on the ends fit snugly into the slots on the long sides.
Attaching the Legs
Next, it's time to attach the legs to the frame. The Kivik Ottoman comes with four legs, one for each corner.
Position the legs in the designated holes at the bottom of the frame. Ensure that the legs are facing the correct direction, with the flat side against the frame. Use the Allen key to tighten the screws securely, but be careful not to overtighten and strip the threads.
Securing the Frame
Once the legs are attached, you'll need to secure the frame further. Look for the holes on the inside of the frame and insert the provided screws and washers. Tighten these screws using the Allen key to reinforce the frame's structure.
Your Kivik Ottoman frame is now assembled and ready for the next step. If your ottoman comes with a fabric cover, proceed to the next section. If not, you can skip to the final step.
Attaching the Fabric Cover (if applicable)
If your Kivik Ottoman comes with a fabric cover, this section will guide you through the process of attaching it to the assembled frame.
First, lay the fabric cover flat on the floor. Align the frame with the cover, ensuring that the legs fit through the corresponding holes in the fabric.
Securing the Cover to the Frame
Once the frame is positioned correctly, you'll need to secure the fabric cover to it. Most Kivik Ottomans have Velcro or buttons along the edges of the cover. If your ottoman has Velcro, simply press the fabric onto the frame, and the Velcro will secure it in place.
If your ottoman has buttons, you'll need to attach them to the corresponding holes on the frame. Use the provided screws and Allen key to secure the buttons. Ensure that the fabric is taut and wrinkle-free as you attach each button.
Finishing Touches
After securing the fabric cover to the frame, give your Kivik Ottoman a final once-over to ensure that everything is secure and in place. Gently tug on the fabric to check that it's firmly attached to the frame.
Congratulations! You've successfully assembled your Kivik Ottoman. Now you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your new piece of furniture.
Remember, the Kivik Ottoman is not just a footrest; it's a versatile piece that can serve as extra seating, a coffee table, or even a storage solution. Customize it with throw pillows, a tray for drinks, or use it to store blankets and magazines. The possibilities are endless!
Happy decorating, and enjoy your new Kivik Ottoman!
