Operating Instructions

Folding and Unfolding the Desk

The desk features a drop-leaf design for easy conversion between a full-sized desk and a compact side table.

• To Unfold: Gently lift the drop leaf until it is level with the main tabletop. Ensure it is securely supported by its mechanism.
• To Fold: Release the support mechanism for the drop leaf and carefully lower it until it rests vertically against the desk frame. This reduces the desk's depth significantly.

Using the Casters

The desk is equipped with six 360° swivel casters for easy movement, four of which are lockable for stability.

• To Move: Ensure all four lockable casters are in the unlocked position. Gently push the desk to your desired location.
• To Secure: Once the desk is in position, engage the brakes on the four lockable casters to prevent unintended movement.

Troubleshooting
