Introduction
This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the assembly, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your Winsome Lynden Drop Leaf Dining Table. Please read all instructions carefully before assembly and use to ensure safe and proper operation.
The Lynden Drop Leaf Dining Table is designed for functionality and space-saving, making it suitable for kitchens or smaller areas. It features a pull-out leg mechanism to support the large table leaf, allowing it to accommodate up to 6 people when fully extended. When not in use, the leaf can be dropped to save space.
Safety Information
- Assembly is required. Always follow the included instructions carefully to ensure safe and stable setup.
- Keep hands and body parts away from moving parts during assembly and operation of the drop leaf mechanism.
- Do not exceed the weight limit of the table to maintain stability. The maximum weight recommendation is 30 kilograms (approximately 66 pounds).
- Ensure the table is placed on a level surface. Adjustable feet are provided to compensate for uneven floors.
Parts List
Before beginning assembly, verify that all components are present and undamaged. Refer to the separate parts diagram included in your packaging for specific identification. Common components include:
- Tabletop (main section and drop leaf)
- Legs
- Support rails/stretchers
- Drop leaf support mechanism (pull-out leg)
- Hardware (screws, dowels, hex key, adjustable feet)
If any parts are missing or damaged, please contact Winsome customer support for assistance.
Assembly Instructions
Assembly typically takes approximately one hour. While a hex key is provided, using a power screwdriver with adjustable torque settings can expedite the process. Ensure screws are tightened securely but avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the wood.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. A box cutter may be useful for opening hardware packages.
- Identify Parts: Match all components with the parts diagram provided in your package.
- Assemble Legs and Support Rails: Attach the legs to the main tabletop section using the provided screws and dowels. Ensure all connections are firm.
- Attach Drop Leaf: Secure the drop leaf to the main tabletop using the hinges.
- Install Drop Leaf Support Mechanism: Integrate the pull-out leg mechanism that supports the drop leaf when extended.
- Final Tightening: Once all components are in place, manually tighten all screws to ensure stability without stripping the wood.
- Level the Table: Adjust the feet at the bottom of each leg to ensure the table is stable and does not wobble on uneven surfaces.
For visual guidance, refer to the images below demonstrating the table in various states.
Operating Instructions
Extending the Drop Leaf:
- Gently lift the drop leaf upwards until it is level with the main tabletop.
- Locate the pull-out support leg underneath the main tabletop.
- Slide the support leg outwards until it is fully extended and positioned directly under the lifted drop leaf, providing stable support.
- Ensure the support leg is securely in place before applying weight to the extended leaf.
Retracting the Drop Leaf:
- Slightly lift the extended drop leaf to relieve pressure from the support leg.
- Gently push the pull-out support leg back underneath the main tabletop until it is fully retracted.
- Slowly lower the drop leaf until it hangs vertically alongside the table.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the table surface with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the walnut finish.
- Spills: Clean spills immediately to prevent staining or damage to the wood.
- Protection: Use coasters and placemats to protect the surface from heat, moisture, and scratches.
- Periodic Check: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
