Operating Instructions

Extending the Table:

The Moriville dining table features an extension mechanism that allows you to adjust its length to accommodate more guests. The table can comfortably seat up to 8 people when fully extended with both leaves.

1. Prepare the Table: Ensure there are no items on the table surface.
2. Separate Table Halves: Gently pull both ends of the table apart. The table top will slide open, revealing a gap in the center.
3. Insert Extension Leaves: Take one or both extension leaves. Align the pins on the leaves with the corresponding holes in the table halves. Carefully lower the leaves into place.
4. Close Table Halves: Push the table halves back together until they are flush with the inserted leaves. Ensure the leaves are securely seated.

To shorten the table, reverse these steps: pull the table halves apart, remove the leaves, and then push the table halves back together.

Care and Maintenance

Proper care will help maintain the beauty and longevity of your dining table.

• Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, damp cloth and then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
• Product Care Instructions: The manufacturer specifies "Dry clean only" for certain components, likely referring to any fabric elements if present (though the table itself is wood). For the wood surfaces, follow general wood furniture care guidelines.
• Protection: Use placemats, coasters, and hot pads to protect the table surface from heat, moisture, and scratches.
• Sunlight Exposure: Avoid placing the table in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can cause fading or cracking of the wood finish.
• Humidity: Maintain a consistent humidity level in your home to prevent wood from expanding or contracting, which can lead to cracks or warping.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all assembly hardware and tighten if necessary. Do not overtighten.
