Assembly is straightforward and typically takes less than 30 minutes. All necessary tools (Allen wrench, screwdriver) are included in the hardware pack. Follow these steps carefully:
- Step 1: Attach Frames to Bottom Shelf. Lay the bottom shelf (C) on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches. Attach the left frame (D) and right frame (E) to the bottom shelf using the designated screws from the hardware pack. Ensure the frames are oriented correctly, with the wider base facing outwards.
- Step 2: Install Middle Shelves. Carefully slide the two middle shelves (B) into the grooves on the frames. These shelves are adjustable; choose your desired height for each shelf. Secure them in place using the provided screws.
- Step 3: Attach Top Shelf. Place the top shelf (A) onto the assembled frames and secure it with screws. Ensure all screws are tightened for stability.
- Step 4: Install Power Strip. Locate the pre-drilled holes on the underside of one of the middle shelves. Mount the power strip (F) using the short screws provided. Ensure the power cord can reach an outlet.
- Step 5: Apply LED Light Strip. Clean the desired surface (e.g., underside of a shelf or along the frame) where you want to install the LED light strip (G). Peel off the adhesive backing and firmly press the strip into place. Connect the LED strip to the power strip's USB port.

7. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Armocity Media Stand, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe with a dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and immediately dry the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your media stand, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |

| Power strip is not working. | Not plugged into wall; wall outlet not active; power strip switch off; overloaded. | Check if the power strip is securely plugged into a live wall outlet. Verify the power strip's switch is ON. Reduce the number of connected devices if overloaded. |
