3. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to properly set up your folding table:
- Place the table upside down on a clean, flat surface.
- Locate the two leg assemblies. Each assembly has a locking ring on the support bars.
- Extend each leg assembly outwards until it is fully open.
- Slide the locking rings over the hinges on the support bars to secure the legs in the open position. Ensure the rings are fully engaged and the legs are stable.
- Carefully flip the table upright, ensuring all four legs are firmly on the ground.

5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your table, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the tabletop and frame with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the surface. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Storage: To store, flip the table upside down, disengage the locking rings, and fold the legs inward. The nesting edge corners allow for efficient stacking of multiple tables, minimizing storage space. Store in a dry, protected area when not in use for extended periods.
