Step-by-Step Assembly
Assemble each leg individually before attaching to the table surface.
- Attach Mounting Plate to Leg: Align the holes on the plate with the pre-drilled holes on the top of the leg.
- Secure with Screws: Insert and tighten the four assembly screws (per leg) using a Phillips screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
- Attach Felt Pad: Peel the backing from the felt pad and press firmly onto the bottom of the leg.
- Repeat: Complete steps 1-3 for all four legs.
Tip: Lay a soft cloth under the leg during assembly to prevent scratching.
Attachment to Table Surface
Positioning and securing the legs to your table top.
- Position the Table Top: Place the table top upside down on a protected, flat surface.
- Mark Leg Positions: Measure and mark the positions for each leg according to your table's design. Typically, legs are placed near each corner.
- Align and Secure: Position a leg assembly so the mounting plate aligns with your marks. Secure it to the table top using the provided surface mounting screws.
- Check Stability: Tighten all screws securely. Attach all legs in the same manner.
- Apply Caps: Press the plastic caps into the screw heads on the mounting plate for a finished look.
- Final Check: Carefully turn the table upright. Check for stability on the floor. Gently rock the table to ensure it does not wobble.
CAUTION! Do not overtighten screws into the table surface, as this may strip the material.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care ensures longevity.
- Cleaning: Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or steel wool.
- Protection: Use coasters under glasses and hot pads under dishes to prevent surface damage to the table top.
- Inspection: Periodically check that all screws are tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Moving: Lift the table; do not drag it across the floor to prevent damage to legs and floor.
NOTE: Felt pads may wear over time and can be replaced with standard adhesive felt pads.
