Preparation before assembly:

1. Check the parts: Check that all the parts that arrived are present.

2. Ensure safety: Work in a place where there are no children.

Assembly Procedure

1. Preparing the Thresholds: Drive iron pins into the four thresholds.

2. Installing the Base: Arrange the thresholds and combine them with the pillars. At this time, make sure the top and bottom (upward/downward) of the pillars are correct.

The orientation of the pillars can be confirmed by the metal fittings at the joints.

The bottom of the pillars is coated with rubber, so there is no need to worry about damaging the living room floor.

3. Securing the Pillars: Drive iron pins into the thresholds to secure the pillars.

4. Installing the Lintels: Combine the lintels on top of the pillars. As with the thresholds, drive iron pins in beforehand before attaching.

5. Securing the Lintels: Drive iron pins in to secure the lintels to the pillars.

6. Installing the Underfloor: Arrange the pillars (flooring material) to be laid under the tatami mats.

7. Laying the Tatami Mats: Lay the tatami mats. At this time, the key is to arrange them so that the grain of the tatami mats is offset by 90 degrees.

8. Installing the Doors and Windows: Finally, install the sliding doors (fusuma) and then the shoji screens (shoji) to complete the assembly.

*Number of workers: Installation can be done by one adult in under two hours, but for safety reasons, it is recommended to have two or more adults working together whenever possible.

Ceiling: The ceiling is open, so you can use the living room's air conditioning as is. However, please refrain from hanging from the ceiling pillars.

Maintenance: If you lay carpet under the floor, please use a non-slip mat in conjunction with it.
