Setup and Assembly

The MUJI Folding Pine Wood Table comes pre-assembled and only requires unfolding for use.

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the table from its packaging. Inspect for any damage during transit.
2. Positioning: Place the folded table on a clean, flat surface with the underside facing up.
3. Unfolding Legs: Gently pull each pair of legs outwards until they are fully extended. The metal braces will click into place, securing the legs in the open position. Ensure all four legs are fully extended and locked.

Once the legs are extended and locked, carefully flip the table upright. Ensure it stands firmly on all four legs before use.

Operating Instructions (Folding the Table)

To fold the table for compact storage:

1. Clear the Table: Remove all items from the tabletop.
2. Flip Over: Carefully turn the table upside down, so the tabletop rests on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
3. Release Leg Braces: Locate the metal braces on the underside of the table. Gently push the release mechanism on each brace to unlock the legs.
4. Fold Legs: Fold each pair of legs inwards towards the center of the tabletop until they lie flat against the underside.

The table is now in its folded state and can be stored compactly.

Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your MUJI Pine Wood Table.

• Cleaning: Wipe the table surface with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and immediately dry with a clean cloth.
• Avoid Moisture: Pine wood is susceptible to water damage. Promptly wipe up any spills to prevent staining or warping.
• Heat Protection: Always use coasters or placemats to protect the surface from hot items.
• Sunlight Exposure: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause the wood to fade or change color.
• Finish: The tabletop has a UV coating, and the legs have urethane resin paint. Avoid scratching or damaging these protective layers.

Troubleshooting

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

• Table is wobbly:
  • Ensure all four legs are fully extended and the metal braces are securely locked into place.
  • Verify the table is placed on a flat, even surface.
• Legs do not fold/unfold smoothly:
  • Check for any obstructions in the folding mechanism.
  • Ensure the release mechanism for the leg braces is fully disengaged when folding.
