Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the Magnussen Tinley Park Rectangular Dining Table requires two people. Recommended tools include an Allen key (usually provided), a hammer, a screwdriver, and a wrench.

1. Carefully unpack all components and place them on a soft, clean, non-abrasive surface to prevent damage.
2. Attach the metal stretcher bar to the two pedestal bases. Ensure the holes align and secure with the provided bolts and washers. Do not fully tighten at this stage.
3. Position the assembled base structure upside down on the floor.
4. Carefully place the tabletop upside down onto the base structure, aligning the pre-drilled holes in the tabletop with the holes in the pedestal bases.
5. Secure the tabletop to the bases using the remaining bolts, washers, and nuts. Once all bolts are in place, fully tighten all connections using the Allen key and wrench.
6. With the assistance of another person, carefully flip the assembled table upright. Lift the table rather than dragging it to avoid damage to the legs or floor.

Operating and Usage

The Magnussen Tinley Park Dining Table is designed for indoor dining use and features two butterfly leaves for extending its length.

Extending the Table with Butterfly Leaves:

1. Ensure there is sufficient space around the table to extend it.
2. Grasp both ends of the tabletop and gently pull them apart. The table will separate in the middle, revealing the butterfly leaves stored underneath.
3. Unfold the butterfly leaves one at a time. The leaves are designed to pivot and lay flat within the table's center opening.
4. Once the leaves are unfolded and positioned, push the two halves of the tabletop back together until they are flush with the leaves and securely locked.

Retracting the Table:

1. Pull the tabletop halves apart to disengage the locking mechanism.
2. Fold the butterfly leaves back into their storage position underneath the tabletop.
3. Push the tabletop halves back together until they are flush and locked.

Maintenance

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

• Cleaning: Wipe the table surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or polishes that may damage the finish. Dry immediately with a clean cloth.
• Spills: Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the liquid and damage the finish.
• Heat and Moisture: Use placemats, coasters, and hot pads to protect the surface from heat, moisture, and scratches. Avoid placing hot items directly on the table.
• 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 cracking or warping.
• Moving: When moving the table, always lift it. Do not drag it across the floor, as this can damage the legs and the floor.

Troubleshooting

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

• Wobbly Table: Check all bolts and connections under the tabletop and at the pedestal bases. Tighten any loose hardware. Ensure the table is on a level surface.
• Difficulty Extending/Retracting Leaves: Ensure the tracks for the leaves are clear of debris. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the tracks if movement is stiff. Do not force the mechanism.
• Scratches or Dents: For minor surface imperfections, consult a professional furniture repair specialist or use a wood repair kit appropriate for the Dovetail Gray finish.
