Stand it up
Five moves and it is on its feet.
Open both out
The cutout and the stand both come folded in half to fit the box. Open them flat and press each crease down with your palm. Leave the fold running down the length of the stand alone — that one becomes the wing later.
Peel the tape backing
Tape runs the length of the narrow strip. Peel the backing off in one go and try not to touch the tape after that.
Line up the bottoms
Set the stand down the middle of the back with its bottom edge level with the bottom of the cutout. Get that edge right, then press the strip down hard for half a minute.
Fold the wing out, then pull the tabs down
Swing the big half away from the board. Two locking tabs sit along the fold. Pull each one down with a finger until it sits flat between the wing and the board. They are what hold the wing open, so do not skip them.
Stand it up
Lift it upright and let it tip back onto the wing. It will settle at a slight lean, which is what keeps it there.
Slide the two stakes in
The first goes up into the bottom edge of the cutout, one prong on each side of the wing. The second goes up into the bottom edge of the wing. Push each one in halfway, so the crossbar stays clear of the board where your foot can reach it. The two end up crossing at right angles, which is what stops it folding either way.
Step them in, then push it down
Stand it where you want it and step down on each crossbar in turn until the legs are in the ground. The stakes sit far enough apart for your foot to get between them. Then push the cutout down the rest of the way, until its bottom edge meets the crossbar and sits on the ground. That is what the other half of the prong was for.
