Tools Needed
- No tools required for the frame (hand-tightened dowels/screws)
- Phillips screwdriver may help with leg bolts
- Second person strongly recommended
Parts Checklist
- Sofa frame section(s)
- Wood legs + leg bolts
- Foam/spring seat cushions + back cushions
- Fabric cover pieces (seat, back, arms, skirt)
- Hardware bag
Critical Steps
- Attach legs and bolts before trying to fit the fabric cover.
- Cover pieces are tagged front/back and left/right — check before pulling them on.
- Tuck cover corners fully before zipping — a half-tucked corner won't zip closed.
Pro Tips
- EKTORP covers are NOT interchangeable between different sofa sizes/models — verify the exact size code before ordering replacements.
- Fitting the fabric cover is the most time-consuming part, not the frame.
