Important Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety warnings before assembly and use.

  • Do not exceed the maximum weight recommendation of 2 kg (4.4 lbs).
  • Ensure the table is stable and does not tip over when in use.
  • Always supervise children when using the table.
  • Keep fingers and hands away from moving parts when adjusting the table height or tilt.
  • Ensure the table's casters are securely locked in place when moving it or when a stationary position is desired.

Setup and Assembly

The Bits and Pieces Adjustable Puzzle Tableau requires assembly. While generally straightforward, having a second person may assist with certain steps, particularly when attaching casters.

Included Components:

  • Tabletop with felt surface
  • Table legs and frame components
  • Swivel casters (wheels)
  • Hardware (screws, bolts, etc.)
  • Assembly tools (screwdriver may be recommended, though some tools might be included)

Assembly Steps:

  1. Unpack all components and verify against the parts list (refer to your included manual for a detailed list).
  2. Assemble the main frame structure according to the diagrams in your manual. Ensure all connections are secure.
  3. Attach the swivel casters to the base of the table legs. This step may require firm pressure.
  4. Secure the tabletop to the assembled frame, ensuring the tilting mechanism is correctly aligned.
  5. Tighten all screws and fasteners to ensure stability.

Note: Some users have found instructions to be less clear for specific hardware updates. Exercise patience and ensure correct orientation of parts during assembly.

Operating Instructions

Adjusting Table Tilt:

  • Locate the side wheels or adjustment knobs on the table frame.
  • Loosen the knobs to allow the tabletop to move freely.
  • Carefully tilt the tabletop to your desired angle, from flat to up to 40 degrees.
  • Once the desired angle is achieved, tighten the adjustment knobs securely to lock the tabletop in place.

Moving the Table:

  • Ensure the tabletop is in a flat or securely tilted position before moving.
  • Unlock the swivel casters by disengaging their locking mechanisms (if present).
  • Gently roll the table to your desired location.
  • Once positioned, engage the caster locks to prevent unintended movement.

Using the Felt Surface:

  • The non-slip felt surface is designed to keep puzzle pieces in place, even when tilted.
  • Place your puzzle directly on the felt surface for assembly.
  • Pieces can be easily slid across the felt when needed, but will remain stationary when the table is still.

Maintenance

Product Care:

  • Wipe the tabletop and storage areas with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the finish.
  • For stubborn stains, use a mild cleanser, rinse thoroughly, and dry afterward.

Checking Stability:

  • Regularly inspect leg connections and adjustment mechanisms for tightness.
  • Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain the table's stability and prevent wobbling.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

  • Difficulty with Assembly: If instructions are unclear, refer to online resources or contact customer support. Ensure all parts are correctly oriented before tightening.
  • Tilting Mechanism Not Smooth: Check that all adjustment knobs are sufficiently loosened before attempting to tilt. Ensure no obstructions are present in the tilting mechanism.
  • Table Wobbles: Verify that all assembly screws and fasteners are tightened. Ensure casters are locked when the table is stationary.
  • Casters Not Rolling Smoothly: Check for any debris or hair caught in the caster wheels. Ensure the caster locks are fully disengaged.
