1.Lay right side panel (#2) face down on a soft surface to avoid marking finish. Attach four brackets with 1/2" screws to bottom of right front leg (#3) leaving screws slightly loose. Face brackets out (see Figure 1). Place right front leg (#3) over right side (#2) as shown in Figure 2, paying close attention to direction arrow pointing up on panels. Align threaded holes with brackets on side. Start four 1/2" screws through brackets. Align bottom of side and leg assembly so they are flush with each other. Hold these pieces securely in alignment while tightening (but not over tightening) screws.
2.Assemble left side (#4) and left leg (#5) as described in step 1.
3.You may prefer to lay mantel face down on a soft surface instead of upright to position header. Position header (#6) between leg assemblies with direction arrow pointing up (see Figure 3). Attach header assembly blocks (#8) with 1 1/4" screws and washers (see Figure 4).
