Using the Storage Base:

- Access the storage compartment by opening the designated panel on the base.
- Ensure items stored do not obstruct the table's extension mechanism.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the beauty and longevity of your Hallanden dining table.
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or polishes that may damage the finish.
- Spills: Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the spill and damage the finish.
- Heat and Moisture: Always use coasters, placemats, or hot pads under hot dishes, cold drinks, and other items that could damage the table surface.
- 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.
- Hardware: Periodically check and tighten all assembly hardware to ensure the table remains stable and secure.

If you encounter any issues with your Hallanden dining table, refer to the following common solutions:
- Table Wobbles:
- Ensure the table is placed on a level surface.
- Check all assembly hardware and tighten any loose bolts or screws.
- Extension Leaf Does Not Fit Smoothly:
- Ensure the table halves are fully separated before inserting the leaf.
- Verify the leaf is oriented correctly and the alignment pins are properly engaged.
- Check for any obstructions in the extension mechanism.
