2. Safety Information

WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in injury or damage to the product.

• Handle the table carefully to prevent splinters or damage to the wood.
• Exercise caution when unfolding and folding the table to avoid pinching fingers.
• If using a parasol, ensure it is securely fastened to prevent tipping.
• Do not exceed the recommended maximum weight of 80 kg.
• Ensure the table is properly leveled before use to prevent instability.
• Keep children and pets away from the table during assembly and folding operations.

3. Setup and Assembly

The Casaria Alabama table is designed for straightforward setup. No complex assembly tools are required, as the table comes pre-assembled in its folding mechanism.

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the table for any signs of damage during transit.
2. Unfolding the Legs: Place the table on its side or upside down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches. Gently extend the leg frames outwards until they are fully open.
3. Securing the Legs: Ensure that the locking mechanisms (if present) on the leg frames are engaged to hold the legs firmly in place.
4. Positioning: Carefully turn the table upright and place it in your desired location. Adjust the table to ensure it is stable and level on all four legs.

4. Operation

4.1 Folding and Unfolding

The table's folding design allows for convenient storage when not in use.

• To Fold: Clear the table surface. Carefully unlock any leg securing mechanisms. Gently push the leg frames inwards until they are flat against the tabletop. It is recommended to have two people for this operation to prevent accidental drops or damage.
• To Unfold: Reverse the folding process. Ensure legs are fully extended and secured before placing any items on the table.

4.2 Using the Parasol Holder

The table features a central hole designed to accommodate a parasol, providing shade on sunny days.

• Insert the parasol pole through the central hole in the tabletop.
• Ensure the parasol is firmly seated in a suitable base (not included) beneath the table.
• Always secure the parasol properly to prevent it from tipping over, especially in windy conditions.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and preserve the appearance of your acacia wood table.

• Cleaning: Clean the table regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can damage the wood finish.
• Wood Treatment: The acacia wood is pre-oiled. To maintain its original color and protect it from weathering, it is recommended to treat the wood regularly with a suitable wood maintenance oil and a soft cloth. Without regular oiling, the wood may develop a gray patina over time, which some users prefer.
• Hardware: Hinges and connections are made of galvanized metal. Periodically check these components for tightness and corrosion. Tighten any loose screws as needed.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, especially during adverse weather conditions, store the folded table in a dry, protected area to prolong its lifespan.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Casaria Alabama table.

• Table is unstable:
  • Ensure all legs are fully extended and locked into place.
  • Verify the table is on a flat, even surface. Adjust leg levelers if available, or place shims under uneven legs.
  • Check all screws and connections for tightness.
• Difficulty folding/unfolding:
  • Ensure no obstructions are preventing the legs from moving freely.
  • Check hinges for dirt or debris. Clean and apply a small amount of lubricant if necessary.
  • Do not force the mechanism; if resistance is met, re-check the process.
• Wood fading or drying out:
  • This is a natural process for wood exposed to elements. Apply a suitable wood maintenance oil as described in the Maintenance section (Section 5).
  • Store the table indoors or under cover when not in use to minimize exposure to harsh weather.
