TIPS ON HOW THE BASTION FASTENING SYSTEM WORKS 1.

To attach Posts: A) Dip threads of Post in vegetable oil.
STEP 1 Table top “L” Bracket holes Assemble Side Panels 3/4” Pin not used A. Each side panel consists of two (2) legs, one (1) top side brace and one (1) glide support brace. When assembled, diagonal legs will be the same (i.e. Front Right/Back Left & Front Left/Back Right). Side panels are identical when assembled – the drawer glides will determine left and right sides. holes for nut access holes TOP SIDE BRACE Bastion Post shelves B. Tap a 3/4” pin in each end of the top side braces.

Remove the furthest extended part (1) (smallest) by pushing the black plastic lever down – then pull part out, separating it. This part will attach to the drawer side later. Attach the largest parts (2&3) to the glide support stick using holes as illustrated. Attach with Two (2) 7/16” #6 panhead screws. About 1” of the glide will overlap the front leg.
STEP 3 Attach Back Brace A. You may find it easiest to attach the back brace and shelves by inverting the island. Attach the back brace with bastions to the right and left side assembly. STEP 4 Attach Shelves A. Decide which of the 3 height choices you want the middle shelf. B. It is recommended to get a friend to help hold the shelves in place as you attach them using 1-1/4” #8 screws.
STEP 5 Table Top Preparation & Attaching Attach four (4) “L” brackets to the bottom side of the table top utilizing the inside set of holes using 5/8” #6 screws.
