Modern Style End Frames

 

Note: The Standard Frame assembles in a similar fashion to the Modern Frame except the 4 Blocks are 7/8" thick Furthermore, these blocks are positioned so their top edges are 1 5/8 " from the ends of the legs. Also, (3) 5/8" diameter washers are used under the screw heads. Use the End Frame Gauges supplied to position Blocks, in the middle of the Leg’s 1 5/16" thickness. See Page 4 for more information on how to use the End frame Gauges.

Install 2 screws with 2 washers each, into sides of 4 Legs as shown. Wax screws prior to insertion.

Gauge Pin (marked "End Frame Only")

 

Select Legs marked "RR" (right rear) and "RF" (right front). Legs are marked on the bottoms. Legs for newer Desks may not be marked on the bottom. These Legs can be used for any corner of the Desk.

Arrange legs so that the 32, 3/16" holes in each Leg are facing up. Arrange Blocks so that 1" diameter pocket is likewise facing up. Make sure bottoms of Legs are pointing same way, if so marked.

Drop Legs with Screws onto Blocks as shown.

 

Make sure both washers for each screw are located under the head of the screw, and not between the wood parts. Tighten Screws.

A Stationary Slide can be placed diagonally across Leg and Block while tightening. Apply pressure to Stationary Slide with one hand, while tightening with the other. This will keep the Block and Leg in alignment.

Make sure bottom of Leg and Block are flush. Otherwise Desk may rock when assembled.
