Assembly Instructions

Assemble units as described herein only. To do otherwise 
may result in instability. All screws, nuts and bolts must be  
tightened securely and must be checked periodically after  
assembly. Failure to assemble properly, or to secure parts 
may result in assembly failure and personal injury.

Typical Return Peninsula with 

Pedestal Support Installation

Note:

 Peninsula worksurfaces 

are to be less than 72” in length, 

and are available in 22”, 24” and 

30” widths, plus 24KN & 30KN 

widths.

1. Place a peninsula attachment 

plate under the adjacent 

worksurface. Center the plate 

from side-to-side and position 

the overhang of the plate allowing

peninsula worksurface 

  (Figure 27). Using a pen and the 

properly positioned attachment 

plate as a template, mark the 

center of all attachment hole 

locations to the underside of 

the adjacent surface. Remove 

the plate, and using a drill with

pre-drill mounting holes to only

worksurface. Take care to not drill 

too deep (Figure 27).

Note:

 22” and 24” deep peninsula 

surfaces will use a 21” long 

peninsula attachment plate and 

30” deep surfaces use a 25” long 

attachment plate. The 21” & 25” 

mounting plates have a different 

number of holes. Use all mounting 

holes to secure.

2. Replace the attachment plate over 

the pre-drilled holes and secure 

plate to underside of adjacent 

worksurface using #12 x

screws. Take care to not 

  over-tighten screws (Figure 27).

3. Place pedestal to the approximate 

location it will install under 

the peninsula worksurface. 

Set peninsula worksurface 

onto pedestal and peninsula 

attachment plate. Adjust glides on 

pedestal to level the worksurface 

and center the worksurface on 

attachment plate making sure 

worksurface edges are tight. Take 

care to not drop or damage the 

worksurface. Using the attachment 

plate as a template, pre-drill

screws. Take care not to 

  over-tighten screws (Figure 27).

Note:

 If installing a double 

pedestal (not shown), no holes 

are pre-drilled into the underside 

of the peninsula worksurface for 

installation. Once the double pedestal 

is aligned square, use the pedestal 

mounting holes as a template, and 

pre-drill using

into underside of worksurface. Take care 

to not drill too deep.

5. To attach pedestal to underside of 

worksurface, first align pre-drilled holes 

of worksurface with mounting holes of 

pedestal. Check that the front and side of 

the pedestal is flush with the edges of the 

worksuface and secure using four

  (Figure 27). 

Note:

 If a Knife Edge worksurface is 

being installed, the pedestal will be set 

back from the front edge of worksurface. 

6. Re-install pedestal drawers by 

following steps 7 & 8, page 20 (previous 

page).
