Setup and Assembly
Assembly is designed to be straightforward and can typically be completed by one person within 10 minutes. Follow these steps carefully:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches.
- Attach Side Frames to Seat: Align the left and right armrest/leg frames with the bench seat. Insert the bolts through the designated holes. Important: Loosely attach all bolts and nuts first. Do not fully tighten any bolts until all components are in place.
- Attach Backrest: Position the backrest between the two armrest/leg frames. Align the holes and insert the remaining bolts. Again, loosely secure with nuts.
- Tighten All Fasteners: Once all bolts are in place and loosely secured, systematically tighten all nuts and bolts using the provided hex key and wrench. Ensure all connections are firm and secure.
- Apply Safe Caps: Place the safe caps over any exposed screw ends to enhance safety and aesthetics.
- Final Check: Gently shake the bench to confirm stability. If any wobbling occurs, re-check all connections and tighten as necessary.

Operating Instructions
Using the Optional Middle Table
The VINGLI metal bench features a versatile built-in table that can be used in two configurations:
- Table Up Position: To raise the middle table, gently lift it from its folded position. The support mechanism will lock into place, creating a stable surface for beverages, books, or small items. This configuration reduces the seating capacity to two individuals.
- Table Down Position (Extra Seat): To fold the table down and utilize the full seating capacity, disengage the support mechanism and carefully lower the table until it is flush with the bench seat. This allows for seating of up to three individuals.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your VINGLI metal bench.
- Cleaning: Wipe the bench with a dry cloth regularly to remove dust and debris. For more stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly.
- Rust Prevention: The bench features a powder-coated steel frame designed for weather resistance. However, prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to rust, especially in scratched or chipped areas. Inspect the bench periodically for any signs of rust. If rust appears, clean the affected area and apply rust-inhibiting paint as needed.
- Fastener Check: Periodically check all nuts and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten any loose fasteners to maintain structural integrity.
- Storage: During harsh weather conditions or prolonged periods of non-use, consider covering the bench or storing it in a sheltered area to protect it from extreme elements.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bench is wobbly after assembly. | Fasteners not fully tightened; uneven placement. | Ensure all bolts and nuts are securely tightened. Place the bench on a flat, level surface. |
| Rust spots appearing on the frame. | Prolonged moisture exposure; damaged powder coating. | Clean the rust, dry thoroughly, and apply rust-inhibiting paint. Consider covering the bench during wet weather. |
| Middle table mechanism is stiff or not locking. | Debris in mechanism; lack of lubrication. | Clean any debris from the hinges. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to moving parts if necessary. |
| Uncomfortable seating due to slat gaps. | Design characteristic. | Consider purchasing seat cushions for added comfort. |
