Questions
What tools do I need for the KIVIK loveseat?
None besides the box spanner (120202) in the box: it tightens the 12 nuts. The rods and the feet go on by hand.
How do the armrests attach?
Four threaded rods (117175) screw into each armrest’s inside face by hand; they go through the back frame’s end post, and a washer and a nut on each, from inside the back, hold the armrest on.
Which way up do the seat cushions go?
Crowned side up, zip at the back. The manual crosses out a seat cushion turned over.
Can I wash the covers?
Yes: IKEA says machine wash warm, separately, no bleach or tumble drying, and iron at medium heat.
Safety
From IKEA’s product page: the loveseat is tested and complies with the relevant strength and durability standards. The covers can be machine washed warm and ironed at medium heat (150 °C at most); do not bleach or tumble dry them.
About this guide
The steps, the part numbers, the counts and the order come from IKEA's assembly manual AA-2342501-1 (2022-03-30). The outer size, 190 × 95 × 83 cm, is IKEA's published size. The loveseat’s width, depth and height and the seat’s size are IKEA’s (in inches on its US page); the frames’ members, the armrests’ height, the cushions’ shapes and where the rods and feet sit are read off the manual’s drawings, so they are close, not measured. The upholstery is drawn as fitted covers, not as cloth. The 3D runs faster than real hands do.
IKEA bases its strength testing on use by people weighing up to 242 lb (110 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 KIVIK are named only to say which product this guide is for.
