Helpful Hints and Tips • Note: Some packages of hardware may have extra pieces • You will need a Phillips head screwdriver and wrench to assemble the activity center. IMPORTANT: Barrel nuts and screws are used to join the main wood panels together. The barrel nuts have been properly aligned at the factory to allow the screws to easily join the panels.

IMPORTANT Be smart—sort your parts! Be sure you have all required parts BEFORE beginning assembly! DO NOT use power tools to assemble. Using power tools will cause product to crack! When assembling, DO NOT FULLY TIGHTEN SCREWS UNTIL ALL PANELS ARE CONNECTED. To complete assembly, use hand-held screwdriver to fully tighten all screws until they’re snug.
