Steps on Assembling a Recliner Sofa

Step One: Place the recliner sofa frame upside down on a flat and level surface. The back of the frame should be facing up to you, and two side frames are folded inwards.

Step Two: Open out one of the sides from around halfway until it rests against its counterpart. This will form an “L” shape.

Step Three: Repeat step two with the other side frame. This will form a “T” shape. Ensure that one of your hands is on the top corner of each side to make sure they are both flat and level, then tighten all four bolts using a Phillips head screwdriver. Bit-by-bit, aligning it as you go, tighten the bolts until you have a firm “L” shape.

Step Four: Turn one side of the frame over so that it rests with its upright legs on your work surface in front of you and push down to make sure everything is flat before tightening all four screws using a Phillips head screwdriver. The other two sides will be upside down and resting on the work surface.

Step Five: Repeat step four with the other two sides of the frame, making sure that everything is sitting flat before tightening all eight screws using a Phillips head screwdriver.

Step Six: Attach the back panels to the frame. Align one panel with two of the side pieces, then mark and drill your pilot holes through both assemblies using a power drill. Attach these three sides by tightening all six bolts evenly on each side before attaching the second back panel in place using four screws.

Step Seven: Attach the seat panel to the frame. Align one side of the seat with two sides of the frame, then mark and drill your pilot holes through both assemblies using a power drill. Attach these three pieces by tightening all four bolts evenly on each side before attaching the second back panel in place using eight screws.

Step Eight: Attach the arm panels to the frame. Align one side of an arm with two sides of the frame, then mark and drill your pilot holes through both assemblies using a power drill. Attach these three pieces by tightening all four bolts evenly on each side before attaching the second back panel in place using eight screws.
