4. Setup and Assembly Instructions

Assembly of this dining set requires careful attention. It is recommended to have two people for assembly. Please follow the steps below:

1. Prepare the Area: Clear a spacious, clean, and flat area for assembly. Lay down a blanket or cardboard to protect the furniture parts and your floor from scratches.
2. Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully unpack all components from the boxes. Refer to the included parts list (if provided separately) to identify each piece of the table, chairs, and all hardware.
3. Assemble the Table:
   • Attach the legs to the tabletop using the provided screws and fasteners. Ensure all connections are firm but do not fully tighten screws until the table is upright.
   • Once all legs are attached, carefully turn the table upright and gently rock it to ensure stability. Then, fully tighten all screws.
4. Assemble the Chairs:
   • Attach the chair backrest to the seat and legs.
   • Connect the remaining chair components, ensuring all joints are properly aligned.
   • Note: Some assembly steps, particularly for the chairs, may require extra effort or the creation of pilot holes if not pre-drilled. Use appropriate tools and caution.
   • Once assembled, ensure each chair is stable before use. Fully tighten all screws.
5. Final Check: Verify that all screws and fasteners on both the table and chairs are securely tightened. The furniture should be stable and not wobble.

5. Operating and Usage Instructions

To ensure the longevity and safe use of your dining set, please observe the following guidelines:

• Placement: Position the dining set on a flat, level, and stable surface to prevent wobbling or instability.
• Space Saving: The chairs are designed to fit neatly under the table when not in use, optimizing space in smaller areas.
• Weight Distribution: Distribute weight evenly on the table and chairs. Avoid placing excessively heavy items on one side.
• Movement: When moving the furniture, lift it rather than dragging it to prevent damage to the legs and floor.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and durability of your dining set:

• Cleaning: Wipe the surfaces with a dry, soft cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth followed immediately by a dry cloth can be used.
• Avoid Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive materials, or polishes that are not specifically designed for waxed pine wood, as these can damage the finish.
• Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining or water damage.
• Environmental Factors: Protect the furniture from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and excessive moisture, which can cause warping, fading, or cracking.
• Fasteners: Periodically check and re-tighten all screws and fasteners to ensure the structural integrity of the table and chairs.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your dining set, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Wobbly Table or Chairs:
  • Ensure the furniture is placed on a completely flat and level surface.
  • Check all assembly screws and bolts. Loosen them slightly, gently press down on the wobbly part to level it, and then re-tighten firmly.
• Difficulty During Assembly (e.g., screws not fitting, missing pilot holes):
  • Double-check that you are using the correct hardware for each step as indicated in the assembly diagrams.
  • If pilot holes are genuinely missing or misaligned, contact customer support for guidance. Do not force screws, as this can split the wood.
• Surface Scratches or Dents:
  • Minor scratches on waxed pine can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth and a small amount of furniture wax.
  • For deeper damage, professional repair may be required.
