2. Install Internal Dividers: Insert the internal panels to create the hidden storage compartment and open shelves.
3. Attach Legs: Securely fasten the four table legs to the bottom of the assembled base using the designated hardware.
4. Install Lift Mechanism (if not pre-installed): Carefully attach the metal lift-up mechanism to the inside of the table base. Pay close attention to the orientation and alignment of the mechanism.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Lift-Top Mechanism

To raise the tabletop, gently pull the front edge of the tabletop upwards. The internal gas struts will assist in lifting the top smoothly and quietly. To lower the tabletop, gently push it downwards until it rests in the closed position. Ensure no objects are obstructing the mechanism during operation.

5.2 Storage Access

The hidden compartment is accessible when the tabletop is in the raised position. This space is ideal for storing magazines, laptops, remote controls, or other items you wish to keep out of sight. The two open shelves on the side provide additional space for books, decor, or frequently accessed items.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your coffee table, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: The tabletop is waterproof and scratch-resistant. Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Spills: Promptly clean up any spills to prevent staining, especially on the engineered wood surfaces.
• Mechanism Care: The metal lift-up mechanism is designed for durability. Avoid applying excessive force when raising or lowering the top. Do not lubricate the gas struts unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
• Fasteners: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability.

7. Troubleshooting

• Table feels wobbly after assembly:
  Ensure all screws and fasteners are fully tightened. Check that the table is placed on a flat, even surface. If the issue persists, disassemble and reassemble, paying close attention to the alignment of all panels and legs.
• Lift mechanism is difficult to operate or uneven:
  Verify that the lift mechanism was installed correctly and that all attachment points are secure. Ensure no objects are caught in the mechanism. If the issue arose after some use, check for loose fasteners on the mechanism itself.
• Scratches or chips on the surface:
  While the table is designed to be scratch-resistant, extreme impacts can cause damage. For minor scratches, furniture repair pens or markers matching the finish color may be used.
