Learn to assemble your Keter Signature Porto dining table and Metaline chairs with this step-by-step guide, including tips to avoid common mistakes.

Quick answer

Assemble the Porto table frame first, attach the wood-look panels, then set up the Metaline chairs. Allow 1-2 hours and have a second person for the tabletop.

Before you start: tools and space

You will need a Phillips-head screwdriver, a rubber mallet (optional but helpful), and a clean, flat area like a patio or garage floor. The Porto table uses a coated steel frame and resin panels with a wood-look finish—no special tools for those materials. Clear about 6 x 6 feet of space to lay out parts without crowding.

Check that all parts from the box match the manual’s parts list. Missing or damaged pieces are easiest to resolve before you begin. If anything is off, contact Keter customer support right away.

Understanding the Metaline chair assembly

The Metaline chairs are sold separately from the table and have a simpler build. Each chair uses a metal frame with pre-drilled holes and a set of bolts. The key difference: chair legs are handed (left and right), so match the curve of the leg to the seat before tightening anything.

Step-by-step assembly guide

Assemble the table base frame: Lay the steel crossbars on a flat surface. Attach the leg brackets to each end of the crossbars using the provided bolts. Do not fully tighten yet—leave about 1/8 inch of thread visible so the frame can shift slightly when you attach the panels. Common mistake: overtightening early, which warps the frame and makes panel slots misalign. Keep bolts loose until all frame parts are joined.
Attach the wood-look side panels: Slide each resin panel into the frame grooves from the top. The panels have a directional grain—orient them so the wood texture runs vertically. Press firmly until the tabs click into the frame slots. If a panel resists, check that no bolts are protruding into the groove. Common mistake: forcing a panel in backward, which leaves a visible gap at the top edge. Check panel orientation before pressing into place.
Secure the tabletop and tighten all bolts: Place the tabletop panel onto the assembled base. Align the screw holes on the underside with the frame brackets. Insert and tighten all bolts with a screwdriver, working from the center outward. Torque evenly—over-tightening one corner can crack the resin. Common mistake: skipping the center bolts, which causes the tabletop to bow under weight. Tighten center bolts first, then corners.
Assemble the Metaline chairs: For each chair, attach the left and right legs to the seat using the supplied bolts. The leg with a curved backrest goes on the side matching the seat’s contour. Hand-tighten all bolts, then flip the chair upright and sit on it gently to settle the joints before final tightening. Common mistake: mixing up left and right legs, which forces the seat to sit crooked. Label legs with a piece of tape to avoid confusion.
Final stability check: Place the table on a level surface. Rock it gently—if it wobbles, loosen the base bolts slightly, shift the frame, and retighten. Check that all chair legs sit flat. Wipe any dust off with a damp cloth. Common mistake: skipping the wobble test and discovering an uneven table during a meal. Perform the wobble test before placing tableware.
