It helps if you begin with two of the table top pieces and rotate around. add the stopper into the slot for a doubly tight hold. latch all four sides. be sure that the side with the extra holes is the top.

Assemble Legs

start with one and then make sure you heave it sturdily on the ground. Once that has been completed, do the opposing sides and lastly fill in the other two, this does take some balance, if you want things to be easier (but less portable) you can glue the legs beforehand, or not use the triangular supports.

View!

now your Turrell should be ready to view, just stick your head beneath and watch. LED light stands can be used to add color if desired.
