Assembly Tips:

- Lay out all pieces on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
- Ensure all screws and fasteners are aligned correctly before tightening.
- Do not overtighten screws to avoid damaging the wood.

Operating Instructions
Lift-Top Functionality:
The tabletop of this coffee table is designed to lift up and forward, providing an elevated surface suitable for working, dining, or other activities while seated on a sofa. The high-quality metal mechanism allows for smooth and quiet operation.
- To lift: Gently pull the tabletop upwards and forwards. The mechanism will extend and lock into the raised position.
- To lower: Push the tabletop slightly forward, then gently guide it downwards until it rests in the closed position. Ensure no objects are obstructing the mechanism or hidden compartment during this process.

Storage Compartments:
The coffee table features a hidden compartment beneath the lift-top and an open lower shelf for additional storage.
- Hidden Compartment: When the tabletop is lifted, a spacious hidden compartment is revealed. This area is ideal for storing items such as laptops, remote controls, books, or game controllers, keeping them out of sight and dust-free when not in use.
- Lower Shelf: The two partitioned lower shelves provide open storage for blankets, magazines, or decorative items.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your coffee table.
- Cleaning: The melamine veneer surface is wear-resistant and scratch-resistant. Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.
- Spills: The desktop is designed to be waterproof. In case of spills, wipe them immediately with a dry cloth to prevent water damage or staining.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary.
- Placement: Avoid placing the table in direct sunlight or near heat sources, which can cause fading or warping.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your coffee table, refer to the following common solutions:
- Tabletop binds when lifting/lowering: Ensure the tabletop is lifted or lowered with even force, preferably using both hands or one hand in the center. Uneven pressure can cause the mechanism to bind. Check for any obstructions in the mechanism or hidden compartment.
- Loose connections/wobbling: Inspect all assembly points and tighten any loose screws or fasteners. Avoid overtightening.
- Difficulty with screw insertion during assembly: Some pre-drilled holes may require additional force. Using a powered screwdriver is recommended for easier assembly. Ensure screws are aligned correctly before driving them in.
- Damaged or missing parts: If any parts arrived damaged or are missing, contact customer support immediately for assistance.
