Assembly Instructions

Before beginning assembly, ensure all parts are present and undamaged. Refer to the included hardware list and diagrams. Assembly typically involves connecting panels using cam and dowel fasteners, which provide a strong and secure connection.

Step-by-Step Cam and Dowel Assembly:

1. Insert Cam Dowels: Screw the cam dowels into the pre-drilled holes of the first panel. Ensure they are fully seated and secure.
2. Attach Second Panel: Align the second panel with the cam dowels, ensuring the cam lock holes are positioned correctly over the dowel heads. Press the panels together firmly.
3. Secure with Hidden Cams: Insert the hidden cams into the larger holes on the second panel. Use a screwdriver to turn each cam 210 degrees clockwise to lock the panels together. The arrow on the cam should align with the edge of the board when locked.
4. Insert Cam Screws: For cam screw connections, screw the cam screws into the designated holes on the first panel.
5. Attach Second Panel (Cam Screw): Align the second panel over the cam screws.
6. Secure with Hidden Cams (Cam Screw): Insert the hidden cams into the larger holes on the second panel, over the cam screws. Turn each cam 210 degrees clockwise to lock.

Follow the detailed diagrams and instructions provided in your physical assembly manual for specific component placement and sequence. It is recommended to have two people for assembly to ensure stability and ease of handling larger components.

Operating the Lift-Top Feature

The Sauder Hudson Court Coffee Table features a smooth lift-top mechanism for versatile use. To raise the top, gently pull it upwards and forwards from the front edge. The mechanism will extend, allowing the top to lock into an elevated position suitable for working, dining, or other activities. To lower the top, gently lift it slightly to disengage the lock, then guide it downwards and backwards. The soft-close mechanism ensures a smooth and quiet return to the closed position.

Care and Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Sauder Hudson Court Coffee Table, follow these care instructions:

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or polishes that may damage the finish.
• Spills: Promptly wipe up any spills to prevent staining or damage to the wood finish.
• Heat and Moisture: Use coasters under hot or cold beverages and placemats under dishes to protect the surface from heat and moisture rings.
