4. Assembly Instructions
Assembly of the Merax dining set is designed to be straightforward. It is recommended to assemble the furniture on a soft, clean surface (e.g., a carpet or blanket) to prevent scratching. Two adults are recommended for assembly.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out. Compare them with the package contents list to ensure everything is present.
- Assemble the Table:
- Attach the table legs to the tabletop using the provided hardware. Ensure the legs are oriented correctly according to the diagrams in the separate assembly guide (if provided).
- Securely fasten all bolts and screws. Do not overtighten initially; tighten fully once all components are loosely connected.
- Attach the stretcher bar between the table legs for added stability.
- Assemble the Chairs:
- Attach the chair legs to the seat frame. Pay attention to the front and back legs as they may differ.
- Connect the backrest to the seat frame.

- Assemble the Bench:
- Attach the bench legs to the bench seat.

- Final Tightening: Once all pieces are assembled, go back and fully tighten all screws and bolts on the table, chairs, and bench. Be careful not to overtighten, which could strip screws or damage wood.
- Leveling: After assembly, place the dining set in its intended location. If any component wobbles, gently lift and adjust the legs or check connections to ensure it sits level.

6. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your dining set.
- Cleaning:
- For the wood surfaces (tabletop, legs): Wipe with a dry cloth for dusting. For spills or marks, wipe with a damp cloth immediately, then dry thoroughly.
- For upholstered surfaces (chairs, bench): Spot clean with a mild fabric cleaner as needed. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Do not saturate the fabric.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, strong detergents, or solvents on any part of the dining set, as they can damage the finish or fabric.
- Protect from Elements: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or high humidity, which can cause wood to warp, crack, or fade, and fabric to degrade.
- Prevent Scratches: Use placemats, coasters, and tablecloths to protect the tabletop from scratches, heat, and spills.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check and retighten all screws and bolts to ensure the stability and integrity of the furniture.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your dining set, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Table/Chair/Bench wobbles | Uneven floor; loose connections; improper assembly. | Ensure the furniture is on a flat, level surface. Check and tighten all screws and bolts. If still wobbly, loosen all connections slightly, press down firmly on the wobbly part to level it, then retighten. |
| Bench/Chair feels unstable or breaks under weight | Exceeded weight capacity; loose connections; manufacturing defect. | Ensure weight limits (250 LBS for chairs/bench) are not exceeded. Check and tighten all connections. If the issue persists despite proper use and assembly, contact customer support. |
| Scratches or dents on wood surface | Impact from objects; dragging items across surface. | Use wood repair kits or markers for minor scratches. For deeper damage, professional repair may be needed. Always use placemats and coasters to prevent future damage. |
| Fabric upholstery stained or dirty | Spills; general use. | Spot clean immediately with a mild fabric cleaner and a clean cloth. Blot, do not rub. Allow to air dry. For stubborn stains, consult a professional upholstery cleaner. |
