Operating Instructions
Lift-Top Mechanism
The coffee table features a smooth and stable lift-top mechanism, allowing the tabletop to be raised from 15 inches to 21 inches. To operate:
- To Lift: Gently pull the front edge of the tabletop upwards. The hydraulic lift system will assist in raising the top to your desired height.
- To Lower: Apply gentle downward pressure on the tabletop. The mechanism will smoothly lower the top back into its closed position. Ensure no objects are obstructing the closing path.
Hidden Storage Compartment
The entire area beneath the lift-top serves as a large hidden storage compartment. This space is ideal for storing items such as blankets, game consoles, napkins, books, and speakers, keeping your living area tidy.

- Protection: Use coasters under drinks and placemats under hot items to protect the tabletop.
