Step 1

Open the tabletop box for the Laurel Oaks 7-Piece Black Steel Outdoor Patio Dining Set , and flip over upside down to prepare for leg assembly.

Step 2

Place each leg to the corresponding corner.
Insert screws and tighten with a tool that comes with packaging (wrench).
In my case, I used my socket wrench as it's much faster and easier to handle.

Flip the table over as the table portion is complete.

Step 4

Open boxes for Chair Assembly.
The Laurel Oaks table set comes with 6 chairs, two swivel chairs and four non-swivel chairs.
The parts will be armrests, chair backs, chair seats, and cushions.

Assemble the two Swivel Chairs.
First attach the chair back to the seat bottom. Next, mount the swivel assembly.

Step 12

Assemble the non-swivel chairs.
Begin with attaching the arm rest to the seat bottom by tightening the screws at the front and rear of the arm rest.
These chairs assemble quickly since there is no swivel base or swivel assembly.
Next, tighten the back screws and install seat cushions.
