GLADOM tray table step 1 of 4: Set the leg frames across each other
Stand one leg frame on the rug and set the other across it, its top bar in the dip in the middle of the first one’s. Screw them together where the top bars cross with the long screw (123451), using the hex key (100006). Use the long screw here, not a short one.

Questions
What tools do I need for the GLADOM tray table?
Only the hex key (100006) in the box.
Which screw goes where?
The long one (123451) goes where the top bars cross; the three short ones (122202) go into the block where the bottom bars meet and through two of the ring’s eyes.
The ring wobbles. Why?
An eye is not down on its flattened seat. Loosen its screw, turn the ring until all four eyes sit flat, and tighten it again.
How much can the GLADOM tray table hold?
The manual gives a maximum load of 10 kg, and warns not to sit on it.
Safety
From the manual: this is a delicate table. Do not sit on it, and do not put heavy things on it: the maximum load is 10 kg.
About this guide
The steps, the part numbers, the counts and the order come from IKEA's assembly manual AA-2544925-1 (2024). The outer size, 45 × 45 × 53 cm, is IKEA's published size. The width, across the tray, and the height are IKEA’s; the screws’ sizes are a spare-parts seller’s; the tubes, the ring and the tray’s rim are read off the manual’s drawings, so they are close, not measured. The 3D runs faster than real hands do.
The manual gives the maximum load as 10 kg.
The manufacturer's instructions are on IKEA's product page (PDF). If something here differs from the manual in your box, follow the manual.
The 3D models, drawings and text are our own. IKEA and GLADOM are named only to say which product this guide is for.
