Care & Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your wooden table.

Cleaning: Wipe with a damp, soft cloth. Dry immediately. Use mild soap if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

Protection: Use coasters, placemats, and tablecloths to protect against heat, spills, and scratches. Wipe spills promptly.

Maintenance: Wood is a natural material and may expand/contract with humidity. Maintain stable indoor humidity. Light scratches can be touched up with a matching wood stain marker (not included).

CAUTION! Never use harsh chemicals, ammonia, or silicone-based polishes.

Usage Guidelines

To ensure safety and durability, please observe the following:

  1. Place the table on a flat, level floor.
  2. Do not drag the table across the floor; lift it to move.
  3. Do not sit or stand on the table.
  4. Distribute weight evenly. Avoid placing extremely heavy objects in the center.
  5. Keep away from radiators, fireplaces, and direct sunlight to prevent fading and warping.

Tip: Rotating the table occasionally ensures even wear and exposure to light.

Disassembly & Moving

If you need to move or store the table, follow these steps to disassemble safely.

  1. Turn the table upside down on a protected surface.
  2. Using the Allen key, loosen and remove all screws from the metal corner braces.
  3. Gently separate the legs from the tabletop. Remove the wooden dowels.
  4. Store all hardware (screws, dowels, braces) in a labeled bag taped to the tabletop.
  5. Protect table surfaces with cardboard or blankets during transport.
