VINLIDEN Sofa Assembly Instructions
This document provides detailed instructions for assembling the IKEA VINLIDEN sofa. Please follow each step carefully to ensure correct assembly.
General Assembly Tips
Before you begin, ensure you have a clear, spacious area to work in. It is recommended to assemble the sofa on a soft surface like a rug to prevent scratching the parts or your floor.
Important Notes:
- [Warning] Avoid assembling on soft surfaces like carpets if possible; assemble on a hard surface for stability.
- [Warning] Do not use sharp objects like knives to open packaging. Use scissors or a box cutter carefully.
- If you encounter difficulties or have questions during assembly, consult the IKEA website or contact IKEA customer support for assistance.
