Usage Features:
The Drip table is designed for straightforward assembly, though it emphasizes careful adherence to instructions.
- Assembly: The manual provides a step-by-step guide for assembly, starting with connecting corners to frames, then attaching adaptors to legs and crossbars, followed by connecting crossbars to legs, attaching the middle crossbar, and finally securing the leg-section to the frame and placing the tabletop.
- Step 1: Insert corners (C) into frames (D & E) and attach with flat head hex screws (K). Crucially, the two small holes on the corners (C) must face upwards. Screws should initially be installed slightly and then fully tightened.
- Step 2: Install one adaptor (H) in the lower middle part of each leg (B) using two long hex screws (I), ensuring correct adaptor direction.
- Step 3: Connect one adaptor (H) in the middle of each end-crossbar (G) using two long hex screws (I), ensuring correct adaptor and crossbar direction.
- Step 4: Connect the end-crossbar (G) to two legs (B) using short hex screws (J).
- Step 5: Attach the middle crossbar (F) to the frame, ensuring the holes are in the correct direction.
- Step 6: Place the leg-section on the frame upside down, align all four legs in each corner (C), and connect them using two long button screws (M) in each corner.
- Step 7: Place cover components (O) on each of the 4 corners (C) and attach them with hex socket head cap screws (P).
- Step 8: Place the tabletop (A) upside down on a soft, flat surface. Place the assembled frame on top, also upside down. Install short button screws (L) slightly, then tighten all of them to secure a correct fit. Finally, flip the table to its upright position.
- Safety Precautions:
- Dispose of plastic packaging properly and keep it away from children.
- The table is intended exclusively for indoor use.
- Handle the tabletop with care to prevent scratches.
- Two or more adults are required when lifting the table, indicating its potential weight or size.
