How to Attach the Legs on a Wicker Bassinet

Unassembled Bassinet Kits

• 1

  Identify the legs of the bassinet. The bassinet will have either four separate legs or two sets of two combined legs.

• 2

  Attach the top of the legs to the base of the wicker bassinet as directed in the instruction manual. The legs will attach with a folding brace or a snapping joint.

• 3

  Attach a leg brace between each leg. Screw the brace into the legs with a power drill or insert the wooden notch that's included in the packaging, depending on the style of the bassinet.

Custom Bassinets

  Drill a wood screw through the basket and wooden block into the leg’s guide hole. Drill until the bassinet and leg are tightly attached. Repeat this process for each leg.

  Place a washer on a screw. Drill a screw through the side of the leg until it is tightly attached to the leg brace. Repeat this process for each leg brace.
