In this video, Laura uses an Ethan Leg Table to show you how to put your new leg table together. Leg tables arrive with the top fully assembled, and with the legs and leaves separate.
Regular Legs
To add the legs, prop up your table top on its side. The underside of the top has spaces for the legs in the corners with corner brackets for support. Slide the legs into the corners from the outside so the bolts in the legs go through the holes in the corner brackets. Once the bolts are through, slide the washer up the end of each bolt to protect the bracket, then twist the nut on. Most people will be able to get it tight enough with their bare hands, and using your hands will help you avoid tightening too much.
Five Legs?
If your table comes with three or four leaves, then it needs a fifth leg to support them. The fifth leg has one bolt sticking out the top, and bolts to a bar in the center of the table. You will have to slide the table open enough to get your hand around the bar.
Leaves
Now that your table is upright, you can add leaves if you like. When you open the table top, you will see dowels sticking out of one side of the opening, and holes in the other. The leaves have the same dowels and holes to line up. Slide them together, close your table, and enjoy!
