Operating Instructions
Lift-Top Function
The table features a metal gas support mechanism for smooth lifting. To raise the tabletop, gently lift it from one side. The hydraulic lifters will assist in raising it to the desired height. To lower, gently push down until it locks into place.
Important: Always raise the lower table first to avoid damage when extending the tabletop.
This image shows the lift-top coffee table in its raised position, suitable for working or dining.
Convertible Modes
This 4-in-1 multi-function coffee table offers several configurations:
- Regular Coffee Table: When the lifting top is closed, it functions as a standard coffee table, ideal for storing items in its hidden compartments and open shelf.
- Workstation (Half Expanded): When half expanded, one side of the tabletop lifts to provide a comfortable workstation for one or two people.
- Dining/Gaming Table (Fully Unfolded): When fully unfolded, both sides of the tabletop extend to create a larger surface, accommodating 4-8 people for dining or gaming.
This image displays the table in its four main configurations: one side lifted, both sides lifted, fully extended as a dining table, and in its compact coffee table form.
Storage Access
The table includes three hidden storage areas beneath the lift-top surface and a lower open shelf. These compartments are accessible when the tabletop is lifted, providing convenient space for various household items.
This image highlights the spacious hidden compartments and the open shelf, demonstrating their capacity for various household items.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the table surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the finish.
- Spills: Clean spills immediately to prevent staining, as the table is not stain-resistant. Use a dry cloth to absorb liquids.
- Hardware: Periodically check all screws, cam locks, and other fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain stability.
- Lift Mechanism: The metal gas support mechanism is designed for durability. Avoid forcing the lift mechanism or applying excessive weight to the lifted tabletop.
