Tools Required

Only the included Allen key is required for basic assembly and adjustment.

Included: Allen key (size 4 mm).
Optional: Phillips screwdriver (if mounting plate screws need tightening).
Optional: Soft cloth to protect table top surface during assembly.

CAUTION! Using incorrect tools may damage the leg or mounting hardware.

Installation Steps

Follow these steps to attach the leg to your table top.

Prepare the table top: Place the table top upside down on a soft, protected surface.
Position the leg: Align the mounting plate with the pre-drilled holes on the table top (if present) or according to your desired placement.
Attach the mounting plate: Insert the screws through the mounting plate into the table top. Hand-tighten initially.
Secure the leg: Place the leg shaft into the mounting plate socket. Tighten the locking collar or set screw using the Allen key until firm.
Attach the foot cap: Press the plastic foot cap onto the bottom of the leg until it clicks into place.
Final check: Ensure all connections are tight and the leg is perpendicular to the table top.

Tip: For stability, install all legs (typically 4) before turning the table upright.

Height Adjustment

Adjust the leg height before final tightening or after installation if designed for post-adjustment.

Loosen the locking collar or set screw using the Allen key.
Gently pull or push the leg to extend or retract to the desired height.
Ensure all legs are set to the same height using a measuring tape for a level table.
Tighten the locking mechanism firmly with the Allen key.
Check stability by applying gentle pressure; the leg should not slip or rotate.

WARNING! Do not exceed the maximum extension mark (if present). Ensure the leg is securely locked at the chosen height.

Weight Capacity & Stability

Maximum load per leg: 50 kg (110 lbs).
Total table capacity: Depends on number of legs and table top strength.
Stability tips: Ensure legs are evenly spaced and tightened. Place on a level floor. Use on carpet may require additional floor protectors.
Uneven floors: Some models allow minor individual leg adjustment; check if your model has this feature.

CAUTION! Do not exceed weight limits. Distribute weight evenly across the table surface.

Care & Maintenance

Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Regular cleaning: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
Stubborn marks: Use a cloth dampened with water and mild soap. Dry immediately.
Foot cap: Check periodically for wear and replace if damaged to protect floors.
Hardware check: Tighten screws and locking collars every 6 months to maintain stability.

WARNING! Never use steel wool, abrasive pads, or harsh chemicals on the powder-coated finish.

Do not climb, sit, or stand on the table.
