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.

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.
