Assembly Instructions

Assembly is required. Please follow these steps carefully.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Place them on a soft, clean, and flat surface to prevent scratches.
2. Assemble Trestle Base:

   Identify the wooden trestle base components. These typically consist of four legs and connecting crossbars. Attach the crossbars to the legs using the provided hardware (screws/bolts). Ensure all connections are firm but do not fully tighten yet.

3. Attach Foot Pads: Secure the non-marking foot pads to the bottom of each leg of the trestle base. This protects your floors and provides stability.
4. Position Glass Tabletop: With assistance, carefully lift the tempered glass tabletop and align it over the assembled wooden trestle base. The base is designed to support the glass securely.

5. Secure Glass Top: Use the remaining hardware to secure the glass tabletop to the wooden base. There are usually pre-drilled holes or suction cups/pads designed for this purpose. Ensure the glass is centered and stable.
6. Final Tightening: Once all components are in place and aligned, carefully tighten all screws and bolts. Do not overtighten.

Usage

The Modway Steadfast Office Desk is designed for use in home offices, studies, or similar environments. Its tempered glass surface provides a smooth workspace for laptops, computers, and other office essentials. The open trestle base design offers ample legroom and a minimalist aesthetic.

• Placement: Position the desk on a flat, stable surface. Avoid direct sunlight or extreme temperature changes to protect the wood and glass.
• Weight Distribution: Distribute weight evenly across the tabletop. Avoid concentrating heavy items in one small area.
• Protection: Use coasters or desk pads under hot items, beverages, or objects with rough bases to prevent scratches or damage to the glass.

Maintenance

• Glass Cleaning: Clean the tempered glass tabletop with a soft, lint-free cloth and a glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the surface.
• Wood Care: Wipe the rubberwood base with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a wood-safe cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals. Periodically check and tighten all hardware to ensure the desk remains stable.
• Spills: Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining or damage to the wood.

Troubleshooting

• Desk Wobbles:

  Ensure the desk is on a level surface. Check all assembly hardware and tighten any loose screws or bolts. Adjust the non-marking foot pads if they are adjustable.
• Scratches on Glass:

  Minor scratches on tempered glass are difficult to remove. Use a glass repair kit for very fine scratches, or consider a desk mat for protection.

• Wood Discoloration:

  Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme humidity, which can cause wood to fade or warp. Use wood polish suitable for walnut finishes.
