Safety Instructions

Read all instructions before assembly. Ensure a clean, spacious work area.

Lifting: Table is heavy. Use two people to lift and move to avoid injury or damage.
Assembly Surface: Assemble on a soft, non-scratch surface (e.g., carpet, blanket) to prevent damage to the finish.
Tool Use: Use only the provided Allen key. Do not over-tighten screws.
Stability: Ensure all legs are firmly attached and the table is level before use.
Children: Do not allow children to play with packaging or small parts. Keep hardware away from children.

WARNING! Failure to follow safety instructions may result in injury or product damage.

Assembly Instructions

Estimated assembly time: 45-60 minutes. Requires two people.

Prepare: Unpack all parts and hardware. Check against the parts list. Identify all pieces.
Attach Underframe to Table Top: Place the table top upside down on a protected surface. Align the underframe with the pre-drilled holes on the underside of the table top. Secure using the provided screws (A). Hand-tighten first, then fully tighten with the Allen key.
Attach Legs: Turn the underframe/table top assembly right-side up. Insert the metal screw plates (B) into the top of each leg. Align each leg with the corner brackets on the underframe. Insert and tighten the large locking screws (C) through the bracket into the leg's screw plate. Ensure all legs are perpendicular and tight.
Final Check: Turn the table upright. Check that all screws are secure and the table does not wobble. Adjust leg tightness if necessary.
Install Extension Guides: Slide the extension leaf into the channel beneath the table top. Ensure it moves smoothly. Attach the locking mechanisms according to the diagram to secure the leaf when extended.

TIP: Do not fully tighten any screw until all parts are aligned.

Using the Extension Leaf

The table extends to accommodate more guests.

To Extend: Ensure the table surface is clear. Pull the table ends apart gently. The table top will separate in the middle.
Insert Leaf: Retrieve the extension leaf from its storage position underneath the table. Lift and carefully place it into the gap between the two table halves. Align it evenly.
Lock in Place: Push the two table halves together to clamp the leaf securely. You should hear a click from the locking mechanisms. Gently try to lift the leaf to confirm it is locked.
To Retract: Pull the table halves apart slightly to release pressure on the leaf. Remove the extension leaf and store it underneath the table. Push the table halves back together until they lock.

CAUTION! Do not force the mechanism. Ensure the leaf is properly seated and locked before placing items on the table.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care will maintain the appearance and longevity of your table.

Cleaning: Wipe with a damp, soft cloth. Use a mild household cleaner if needed. Dry immediately with a clean cloth.
Stains: For spills, blot immediately. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution. Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or solvents.
Protection: Use coasters, placemats, and tablecloths to protect against heat, scratches, and moisture. Avoid placing hot pots or pans directly on the surface.
Maintenance: Periodically check and tighten screws and locking mechanisms to ensure stability.

WARNING! Never soak the table with water or cleaning liquids. Do not place in direct sunlight for prolonged periods to prevent fading.
