The bolts don't go through the nuts. They all stopped at the white cushions inside the nuts. What shall I do?

Apply more pressure. It's a lock nut the white cushion is nylon to hold the bolt in place

Make sure that you are placing the nut correctly on the bolt; rounded end to the outside; check to make sure that you're using the correct size bolt for each area. Try using two wrench's, or a pliers and a wrench to secure one end while turning either the bolt or the nut. I have approximately 1/8" of the bolt showing through the end of the nuts.

For anyone reading this...you do have to use a wrench on the "lock" nuts (with the white nylon inner) to turn them until they are tight. you should not just "hand" tighten. If the bolts can spin while you are turning the locknuts with a wrench, then you need to hold the bolt head with a wrench or pliers. The threaded end of the bolt should stick out of the nut a little when you are done...but the real test is that you can't turn the nut anymore because it is very tight and hard to turn.

I managed an exercise equipment store for 21 years. If I had a dollar for every customer that got hurt because they didn't assemble something right, I would be a wealthy man. Tighten until the bolts push through. Otherwise, you are crazy to hang upside down from this thing. If you can't tighten them enough yourself, ask someone to help you. If you still can't do it, send the thing back. I don't think breaking your neck is going to help your back any.

It takes just a bit of elbow grease, that's all. I used two sets of pliers; one to hold the bolt and the other to hold the nut as I turned. Once you get past that white seal, it works fine.

On my unit I got bolts that were the exact lenght and when they were in position they didn't need to come through the nut. They have been working fine since I put it together and the bolts are even with the nuts and nothing is sticking through...

my husband said their "lock nuts" you need a wrench and use muscle to go past white cushions..
1570211
screw them in they will go the plastic acts like a lock washer ,a tight fit so the screws won't back out

try one of the sockets. If I recall correctly, I used the bits together with a ratchet and a socket.

I had the same problem at first. However there are bolts and octogon bolts. It doesn't specify in directions to use octogon bolts as that is the shape of the end caps. Once I removed the bolts and put the octogon bolts in it took a little extra muscle, but it worked.

I did not get the nuts. Just removed my old legs and screwed the new ones back on. Nuts may possibly needed if you are modifying the furniture.

I had the same issue at first, but it was because they weren't seated on each other properly. Make sure the holes are aligned and the halves are seated well before putting the screws on. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem. What I did is take one of the longer bolts to tighten down. That allowed me to get just enough thread for the short ones to reach then remove the longer bolt and repeat the steps.

There is a long bolt that goes down..loosing it so it drops further and further down. There is an angled round piece with the threaded hole in it and you need to get the long bolt into that hole. Then tighten it up. It needs a lot of tightening.

So Far, not at all. I would check the bolts now and then to make sure they are tight, though. Always a good idea.

Probably needs to be returned. I didn't have this problem. If can't return, I guess you could drill the heads off of the screws and use a vice grips to turn the threaded part out, then replace the screws with suitable hardware store replacements.

If you haven't stripped them all try threading them completely then removing and putting on table. They aren't drilled well. If it's stripped completely maybe try a larger screw?

I purchased these mounts recently and also seem to be experiencing the same issue. This type of nut is apparently called a nyloc. I can't seem to tighten the nut all the way, and therefore cannot really stabilize the mounts. Were you able to figure it out yet?

When my brother and I put it together, we had to re-tighten some of the nuts as we went to make it all fit together as we loosened some of them to align all the bits together. Regardless, push both the body of the couch and the arm rest together and make sure everything is tight and not loose.

Remove the bolts holding the seat to the floor, slide the armrest under the seat tracks and put the bolts back in. Hope this helps.

There nuts under some caps where it hinges. Tighten those , you should be able to tighten it to the point where it is hard to move.

I use locking nylon nuts so they dont back out, https://copy.com/7fkc1IhsPCX9h98q no spacer, but i should have put a spacer in there to keep it level.

Try switching around the feet and don't tighten anything until you get all the bolts through. If anything, you might have to drill a little, but I didn't have to. Just keep it kinda loose, until you get everything in.

Sounds like you put it together incorrectly. Assuming the holes align you put the bolts through a pair of holes and screw the nut on from the below the frame.
