Thank you for purchasing a Feline Design product. Here are your easy assembly instructions:
Your post should have arrived with the following (see Figure A): 1) the carpeted base, 2) the round or square top platform,  3) the sisal rope post, 4) a quick bolt, 5) a threaded rod (plus a spare - please keep with post), and 6) a hex wrench assembly tool. 
Items 4 through 6 are in the same bag as these instructions.
If any of these is missing, please contact us, and we will send you the missing item.

Step-by-step instructions:

1) The post has a threaded nut inside the wooden part at either end (they may not be visible). Put the base aside for the moment. Thread the bolt into the nut by gently inserting it into the larger hole at the center of the post.  (figure B). It does not matter which end you start with, since the post is reversable. DO NOT FORCE THE BOLT INTO THE HOLE. If  the bolt does not easily engage the threads, turn the bolt counter-clockwise a full turn and then try it again. You may need to do this 2 or 3 times before it will catch the threads inside the post. Now that you have seen how the bolt connects, remove it from the post .

2) Stand the post upright on the floor.

3) Push back any loose carpet fibers from center of top of base (to make a clean fit with post).  (figure C).

4) Place the base on the post and line up the holes for the bolt. Label on base should be facing you. Gently insert the bolt through the base and into the center hole on the post until it meets resistance from the interior nut of the post (see step 1).  Turn it as far as you can by hand, and then use the hex key to finish. Do not tighten it too much. Just until it stops, and then 1/4 turn more (figure D). (continued on page 2)
