Step 2. Assemble the Upper Shelves
Place the upper shelves so that the hardware inserts are facing up. Next, place one of
the cross bars on the shelf lining up the holes on the shelf with the brackets on the
cross bar. Insert (2) cross head screws but
DO NOT FULLY TIGHTEN
. You will
notice a small gap between the bracket and the shelf. This was designed so that after
the bench is assembled, you will tighten all the cross head screws which will pull the
shelf down tight against the frame.
With the shelves still in the same position as in step 2, place a left and a right shelf
support on the shelf and attach with (2) 1 ½ Hex Drive Bolts.
