5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Lift Top Mechanism

The tabletop is designed to lift and lower smoothly, providing an elevated surface for dining, working, or other activities.

  1. To Lift: Gently pull the front edge of the tabletop upwards. The gas struts will assist in lifting the top to its extended position.
  2. To Lower: Apply gentle downward pressure to the tabletop. The gas struts will allow it to lower silently and smoothly back into the closed position. Ensure both sides click into place.

The space beneath the lift top provides a large hidden compartment for storing items such as blankets, books, or snacks, keeping them dust-free and out of sight.

  2. To Close: Push the drawer inwards until it is fully seated in the compartment.
