Setup and Assembly
Assembly is required for this coffee table. It is recommended to have two people for easier assembly, though it can be completed by one person. A screwdriver may be needed in addition to the included Allen wrench.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a soft, clean surface to prevent damage.
- Attach Legs to Base: Identify the four metal legs. Align each leg with the pre-drilled holes on the underside of the coffee table's base frame. Secure them using the provided screws and Allen wrench. Ensure they are tightened firmly but do not overtighten.
- Verify Stability: Once all legs are attached, gently lift and place the coffee table upright. Check for stability and ensure all connections are secure. The non-marking foot caps on the legs protect your flooring.

Operating and Usage
The Modway Fortitude Coffee Table is designed for use in living spaces to hold beverages, reading materials, and decorative items. Its open design provides convenient storage and display options.
- Place the coffee table on a level surface to ensure stability.
- Utilize the top surface for frequently accessed items like remote controls, drinks (with coasters), or small decor.
- The lower shelf is ideal for magazines, books, or other items you wish to keep organized and accessible.

Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your coffee table.
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the wood finish.
- Spills: Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth to prevent staining or water damage.
- Protection: Use coasters under drinks and placemats under hot dishes or decorative items to protect the surface from heat and moisture rings.
- Sunlight: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration of the wood finish.
- Fasteners: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as needed to maintain structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Table is wobbly | Loose fasteners; uneven floor. | Check and tighten all screws and bolts. Ensure the table is on a level surface. Adjust foot caps if possible, or use shims. |
