Quick Answer

Assembling your KidKraft Double Chaise Lounge with Cup Holders takes about 30-45 minutes. The key steps are attaching the canopy frame, securing the fabric canopy, connecting the two chaise sections, and installing the cup holders. Work on a soft surface and have a Phillips screwdriver ready.

Before You Start: Tools and Workspace

Clear a flat, soft area like a lawn or carpet to avoid scratching the weather-resistant wood. You will need a Phillips screwdriver (not included). The hardware comes pre-sorted in labeled bags, so keep them organized. Lay out all parts and check them against the manual before beginning.

Understanding the Canopy Assembly

The three-sided canopy is the most distinctive part of this lounge. It attaches to the back of the chaise with metal brackets and pre-drilled holes. Do not fully tighten the screws until all canopy poles are aligned—this prevents cross-threading and ensures the fabric sits evenly.

Step-by-Step Assembly Guide

  1. Attach the Canopy Frame: Connect the canopy poles to the back of the chaise using the provided metal brackets and screws. Leave screws slightly loose until all poles are in place. Common mistake: tightening screws too early can cause misalignment. Check that poles sit flush before final tightening.
  2. Install the Fabric Canopy: Drape the canopy fabric over the frame and secure it with the Velcro straps or snap buttons (refer to your manual). Ensure the fabric is centered and not twisted. Checkpoint: the canopy should be taut but not stretched. A wrinkled canopy indicates a twist in the frame.
  3. Connect the Two Chaise Sections: Align the left and right chaise halves and insert the connecting bolts through the pre-drilled holes. Tighten evenly from both sides. Common mistake: forcing the halves together if they don't align. Loosen the canopy screws slightly to free up movement.
  4. Attach the Cup Holders: Slide each cup holder into the designated slots on the armrests. They should snap into place without tools. Checkpoint: ensure the cup holders are fully seated so they don't wobble when holding drinks.
  5. Final Tightening and Inspection: Go back and tighten all screws and bolts securely. Check that the canopy is stable and the cup holders are firm. Wipe down any fingerprints with a damp cloth. Final check: gently shake the lounge to ensure no loose parts. Tighten any that move.
