Setup and Assembly

Assembly is required for this dining table. It is recommended to have two people for easier and safer assembly.

Tools Required:

• Included Allen wrench
• Phillips head screwdriver (not included, but may be useful for general tightening)

Assembly Steps:

1. Carefully unpack all components from the packaging. Place them on a soft, clean, and flat surface (e.g., a blanket or carpet) to prevent scratches or damage during assembly.
2. Identify the tabletop and the four table legs. Each leg should have pre-drilled holes for attachment.
3. Attach each of the four table legs to the underside of the tabletop. Align the holes on the leg with the corresponding holes on the tabletop.
4. Insert the provided screws through the washers and into the pre-drilled holes. Use the included Allen wrench to tighten the screws. Ensure the tapered legs are oriented correctly, splaying outwards for stability.
5. Tighten all screws securely. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the wood or hardware.
6. With assistance, carefully turn the assembled table upright.
7. Gently rock the table to ensure it is stable and level. If there is any wobbling, check that all screws are evenly tightened.

Operating and Usage

The ASHCROFT Candida dining table is designed for indoor use in dining rooms, kitchens, or similar living spaces.

• Place the table on a flat, stable surface to prevent wobbling.
• The table comfortably seats four adults.
• Avoid placing excessively hot or cold items directly on the tabletop without protective coasters or placemats.
• Do not drag the table when moving it; always lift it to prevent damage to the legs or floor.

Care and Maintenance

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

• Cleaning: Wipe the table surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or furniture polishes containing silicone, as these can damage the wood finish.
• Spills: Promptly wipe up any spills, especially liquids, to prevent staining and moisture absorption into the wood.
• Protection: Always use placemats, coasters, or tablecloths to protect the surface from heat, moisture, scratches, and spills.
• Wood Care: The table features a water-resistant solid wood type. For long-term care, periodic application of a wood furniture polish or wax suitable for walnut finishes is recommended. Follow the product instructions for application.
• Legs: Minor scratches or nicks on the solid wood legs can often be touched up with a wood color touch-up pen matching the walnut finish.
• Sunlight: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration 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.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your dining table, refer to the following common solutions:

• Table is wobbly:
  • Ensure all leg attachment screws are tightened evenly.
  • Check if the floor surface is uneven. Use furniture pads or shims under the legs if necessary to level the table.
• Scratches or nicks on surface:
  • For minor scratches, wood repair kits or touch-up pens matching the walnut finish may help minimize their appearance.
  • For deeper damage, professional repair may be required.
• Screws not aligning during assembly:
  • Ensure the table legs are correctly oriented and not swapped.
  • Loosen all screws slightly, align components, then retighten evenly. Do not force screws.
