Instructions

Although you can dry-assemble this serving station without adhesive to ensure it’s in the location you want, adhesive is essential to the final assembly. Then adhere the wooden top to the upper edges of the top blocks to further stabilize the project. As an added safety precaution, do not allow anyone to climb or stand on the projecting blocks or top.
