Setup and Assembly Instructions
Follow these steps carefully for proper assembly. It is recommended to have a second person assist with assembly.
- Prepare the Base: Place the base plate on a clean, flat surface. Attach the main support column to the base plate using the provided screws and tools. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Install Lower Glass Shelves: Attach the support pillars for the lower shelves to the main support column and the base plate. Carefully place the bottom tempered glass shelf onto these pillars, securing it with the appropriate hardware. Repeat for the middle shelf.
- Install Top Glass Shelf: Attach the remaining support pillars for the top shelf. Carefully place the top tempered glass shelf onto these pillars, securing it.
- Attach TV Mounting Bracket: Secure the TV mounting bracket to the top of the main support column using the designated screws. Ensure the bracket is oriented correctly and tightened firmly.
- Prepare TV for Mounting: Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your television. Attach the vertical TV brackets (part of the mounting bracket assembly) to your TV using the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure the brackets are centered and securely fastened to your TV.
- Mount the TV: With assistance, carefully lift your television and hook the attached vertical TV brackets onto the horizontal bar of the TV mounting bracket on the stand. Once hooked, gently lower the TV into place. Secure the TV to the stand by tightening the safety screws located at the bottom of the vertical TV brackets. This prevents accidental lifting or movement.
- Cable Management: Utilize the integrated cable management channels within the main support column to route and conceal your TV and component cables for a clean and organized appearance.
