Step 1: Insert Sand Funnel into base fill hole, and secure into place.
- Identify Sand Funnel, and align the two notches on funnel with the fill hole at the bottom of the base.
- Hole should closest to edge and have notches on the sides.
- This is NOT the hole in the very center of the base.
- Insert Sand Funnel into fill hole, and turn counter-clockwise until funnel is tight and secured.
Step 2: Fill base with entire bag of included sand
- Begin emptying entire contents of sand bag into base.
-
- It is recommended to only pour enough sand to fill 2/3rd’s of sand funnel and wait for it to empty out before adding more sand.
- Frequently shake base back and forth to settle sand and allow for more pouring.
Step 3: Install M10 countersunk screw
- Once base is completely filled with sand, identify the M10 countersunk screw which is the shortest of the 2 countersunk screws.
- Identify the M6 Hex Wrench, which is the largest one.
- Insert M10 countersunk screw in fill hole and begin tightening screw using M6 Hex Wrench.
- Turn screw clockwise to tighten.
- Tighten screw until you feel slight resistance. Then do a 1/2 turn.
Warning! Do not overtighten screw, overtightening could cause damage to base.
Step 4: Install aluminum extrusion
- Place aluminum extrusion inside square hole on top of base, and push down all the way until the extrusion is fully inserted and bottoms out in the base.
- Clearances will be tight, insert extrusion slowly and carefully.
- The aluminum extrusion features a single slot, this can be facing any direction.
Step 5: Install M8 countersunk screw
- With the aluminum extrusion in place, identify the M8 countersunk screw which is the longest of the 2 countersunk screws.
- Identify the M5 Hex Wrench, which is the 2nd largest one.
- Base can be oriented upside down as shown in diagram below or rested on its side. It is recommended to rest base on its side as it is easier to handle given the weight of the base.
- Insert M8 countersunk screw into the center of the base and begin tightening screw using M5 Hex Wrench.
- Turn screw clockwise to tighten.
- Tighten screw until you feel slight resistance. Then do a 1/2 turn.
If screw is not tightening, go back to Step 4 to make sure aluminum extrusion is fully inserted.
5. The aluminum extrusion should now be firmly secured to the base.
Warning! Do not overtighten screw, overtightening could cause damage to base.
Step 6: Install VEYL Voronoi center columns
- Identify both VEYL Voronoi center columns.
- Orient the center columns so the vertical slots face the same direction. Insert and slide both columns down aluminum extrusion so they stack on top of the base and each other.
- Important: If you plan on installing optional mirrored vinyl sheet, take care to not touch the faces of the center columns with bare hands so that the surface is free of contaminants or oils.
- Recommendations are to use gloves or only touch the edges of columns

Step 6a: (Optional) Install mirrored vinyl adhesive sheet
The VEYL Voronoi kit includes an optional mirrored vinyl sheet that you can apply to the center columns so the center post has a mirrored finish.
Depending on user taste this can better obscure the center post and offer a different visual look vs the stock center columns.
The mirrored vinyl sheet has a sticky back which adheres to the center cylinders, this could present some difficulties when removing and potentially leave residue on the columns.
For temporary installation, follow the instructions at the end of this section.
- Identify the mirrored vinyl adhesive sheet.
- Carefully peel back the blue protective film on mirrored surface only around 1/2″ inch (1 cm) from both of the longest side edges.
- Carefully peel back white backing to expose adhesive.
- Note: Before applying sheet it is recommended to clean center column faces of any contaminants or oils. It is suggested to wipe down with isopropyl alcohol to clean surface. Do not use acetone as this will degrade the plastic.

- Align one side of the long edge to the vertical slots on the center columns. (Figure A)
- Carefully wrap vinyl sheet around columns as shown in (Figure B).
- Be sure to keep vinyl sheet straight when wrapping.
- Edges should nearly touching when fully wrapped.
- With vinyl sheet secured, carefully remove blue protective film from sheet.
To only temporarily install mirrored sheet:
- Follow all steps previously listed with these exceptions:
- Keep vinyl sheet white backing in place, do not remove.
- When wrapping the sheet around the center columns, take a small piece of a non-residue tape such as blue painters tape, and gently adhere the two edges together in at least three main points.
- You can verify the look in the next step which involves installing the shell. The shell can be easily removed to do step 6a again if needed.

Step 7: Install VEYL Voronoi shell
- With the center columns installed and the aluminum extrusion firmly secured to the base, orient the base so the bottom is now resting on the ground.
- If not done so, move assembled parts near the planned location as it will be more difficult to move after full assembly.
- If not done so, move assembled parts near the planned location as it will be more difficult to move after full assembly.
- With the VEYL Voronoi shell major opening facing the bottom, pick up the shell and place it down on top of the base as shown in the diagram (Figure A).
- Make sure the square center slot in the shell aligns with the aluminum extrusion. (Figure B)
- Gently move shell down towards base. If shell is not smoothly inserting into aluminum extrusion, check orientation and try again.
- Do not force shell down without checking orientation, damage to the shell may occur as a result.
- With shell on top of base, push down until you notice the shell click into the base. (Figure C)
- If you don’t hear a click, you can verify shell is attached to base by slightly pulling shell upwards. If shell doesn’t move and feels solid, it is attached.

Step 8: Prep tempered glass table top
- Identify and prep a flat surface area to place tempered glass table top. Make sure surface is soft so glass doesn’t scratch. Recommendations are to use towels, shirts, or similar material.
- Carefully remove tempered glass table top from packaging, and place on soft surface so the aluminum mounting disk is facing up.
- Identify the M6 set screw, which is the smallest screw.
- If guide was followed properly, the M6 set screw should be the only screw left.
- If guide was followed properly, the M6 set screw should be the only screw left.
- Orient the M6 set screw so that the hex cavity is facing the aluminum mounting disk. (Figure A)
- The “tip” of the set screw should be facing outward, away from the glass.
- The “tip” of the set screw should be facing outward, away from the glass.
- Begin tightening M6 set screw into mounting disk, turning clockwise. Hand tighten until the set screw fully bottoms out inside the mounting disk. (Figure B)
- Hand tight means using just your fingers to tighten, not using any additional tools.

Step 9: Attach tempered glass top
- With tempered glass prepped and set screw installed, align center of tempered glass with center of aluminum extrusion, mounting disk facing down. (Figure A)
- Place prepped tempered glass set screw on top of the aluminum extrusion threaded hole, and begin turning entire glass clockwise to begin tightening assembly together. (Figure B)
- While turning tempered glass, you may need to brace the shell to lightly avoid shifting.

- Keep turning glass until it tightens to shell assembly. Once that occurs only tighten slightly more to secure glass.
- Do not overtighten, damage to shell may occur as a result.

Notes
- The M4 Hex Wrench is not used in normal assembly. It is only used in a situation where the set screw is stuck inside the aluminum extrusion where hand loosening is not possible.
