1. Flip the tabletop so the underside is facing up. Fit together the table legs and tabletop support (see Assembling the Table, step 1, at right), then center the assembly upside down on the tabletop, as shown above.
2. To ensure a snug final fit, position the cleats so that each pair sandwiches the tabletop support and the short ends butt up against the inside of the table leg. Screw each cleat in place with three screws (pre-drilling may be necessary).
