1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a soft, clean surface to prevent damage.
2. Attach Legs to Table Top:
   • Align each extension leg with the pre-drilled holes on the underside of the table top.
   • Insert the provided bolts through the leg brackets and into the table top.
   • Hand-tighten all bolts initially. Once all legs are in place, use the Allen wrench to fully tighten them securely. Do not overtighten.
3. Insert Apron Leaf (Optional):
   • If you wish to extend the table, gently pull the two halves of the table top apart.
   • Carefully place the 18-inch apron leaf into the opening, ensuring the alignment pins on the leaf fit into the corresponding holes on the table halves.
   • Push the table halves together until they are flush with the leaf and the locking mechanisms (if present) engage.
4. Adjust Table Height: The extension legs allow for adjustable height from a regular dining table to counter height.
   • To adjust, locate the height adjustment mechanism on each leg (specific mechanism may vary, refer to visual guides if available).
   • Carefully lift the table slightly and adjust each leg to the desired height setting. Ensure all four legs are set to the same height for stability.
   • Confirm that all locking pins or screws for height adjustment are securely fastened before placing any weight on the table.
5. Final Check: Ensure the table is stable and all connections are secure before use.
