• Lifting the Tabletop: To raise the tabletop, grasp the edge of the tabletop with both hands and gently lift upwards. The integrated hydraulic lift mechanism will assist in smoothly raising the top to a comfortable height, typically from its closed height of 15 inches up to approximately 21 inches.
• Lowering the Tabletop: To lower the tabletop, place both hands on the top surface and gently press downwards. The hydraulic mechanism will allow it to descend smoothly back into the closed position. Always ensure your fingers and any objects are clear of the mechanism and connecting pipes during this process to prevent injury or damage.
• Accessing Hidden Storage: The entire area beneath the lift-top provides a large hidden storage compartment. This space is ideal for organizing and storing various items such as blankets, game consoles, remote controls, books, magazines, and other household essentials, keeping your living space tidy.

Maintenance

Proper care will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your coffee table for years to come.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or polishes that may damage the finish.
• Spills: Immediately clean up any spills to prevent staining or water damage to the engineered wood.
• Heat Protection: Always use coasters under hot beverages and placemats under dishes to protect the tabletop from heat marks and scratches.
• Stability Check: Periodically check and tighten all screws and bolts to ensure the table remains stable and secure. Do not overtighten.
• Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration of the finish.

Troubleshooting

• Tabletop does not lift or lower smoothly:
  a. Ensure there are no obstructions within the lift mechanism or along the path of the tabletop.
  b. Verify that all screws and bolts related to the lift mechanism assembly are securely tightened. Loose connections can affect smooth operation.

• Table feels unstable or wobbly:
  a. Check all assembly screws and bolts throughout the table structure and tighten them if loose.
