Setup and Assembly Instructions
The SoBuy FBT102-F nesting tables are designed for straightforward assembly. While specific instructions may vary slightly, the general process involves attaching the metal frames to the MDF tabletops. All necessary hardware and tools are typically included.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Verify that all components and hardware are present against the included parts list (if provided).
- Identify Parts: Separate the tabletops from the metal frames and identify any screws or fasteners.
- Attach Frames to Tabletops: Align the metal frames with the pre-drilled holes on the underside of each tabletop. Secure them using the provided screws. Ensure screws are tightened firmly but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the material.
- Final Check: Once assembled, gently shake each table to ensure stability. Adjust screws if any wobbling occurs.
It is recommended to assemble the tables on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
Operating Instructions
The SoBuy FBT102-F nesting tables offer versatile usage options:
- Nesting for Space Saving: To save space, simply slide the medium and small tables completely under the large table. This is ideal for smaller rooms or when the tables are not actively in use.
- Individual Use: Each table can be used independently as a side table, end table, plant stand, or bedside table.
- C-Shaped Convenience: The unique C-shaped design allows the tables to slide over the base of a sofa, armchair, or bed, bringing the tabletop closer for easy access to drinks, snacks, laptops, or books.
- Multi-Level Display: Arrange the tables at different heights to create an attractive multi-level display for decorative items, plants, or to serve guests.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your SoBuy FBT102-F nesting tables, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the tabletops and metal frames with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, dry cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, strong detergents, or solvents, as these can damage the finish of both the MDF and metal.
- Protect Surfaces: Use coasters under drinks and placemats under hot items to prevent water rings, stains, and heat damage to the tabletops.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain stability.
- Avoid Excessive Moisture: While MDF is durable, prolonged exposure to excessive moisture should be avoided. Promptly wipe up any spills.
Troubleshooting
Should you encounter any issues with your nesting table set, consider the following common solutions:
- Wobbling Table: If a table feels unstable, check all assembly screws. Loosen slightly, adjust the table on a flat surface, and then retighten the screws evenly. Ensure the table is placed on a level floor.
- Scratches on Floor: If the tables are frequently moved, consider adding felt pads to the bottom of the metal frames to protect your flooring.
- Difficulty Nesting: Ensure the tables are aligned correctly. The C-shaped frames are designed to fit together in a specific orientation.
User Tips
- The C-shaped design is particularly useful for small spaces, allowing the tables to function as a convenient surface right over your lap while seated.
- Experiment with different arrangements! Use the tables individually in separate rooms or group them creatively in one area for a dynamic look.
- When nesting, gently slide the smaller tables to avoid scratching the surfaces.
