The provided document is an assembly instruction manual for the "TIMBER Sofa" by ARTICLE. This manual, version 1.0, details the steps required to assemble the sofa, along with an inventory of parts and important tips for assembly and maintenance.

Function Description:

The TIMBER Sofa is a piece of furniture designed for seating. It is a three-seater sofa, as indicated by the three seat cushions and three back cushions, and the overall length depicted in the diagrams. Its primary function is to provide comfortable seating in a living space. The design appears to be modern and minimalist, featuring clean lines and a raised base supported by four legs.

Important Technical Specifications:

While explicit technical specifications like dimensions, weight capacity, or material composition are not provided in this excerpt, the parts inventory gives some insight into the components:

Sofa Body (A): The main frame of the sofa.
Legs (F): Four legs are required for stability. These are inserted into the sofa body.
Fasteners:
- M10 x 60MM Bolt (C): Four bolts are used to secure the legs. The "M10" indicates a metric bolt with a 10mm diameter.
- Lock Washer (D): Four lock washers are used with the bolts to prevent loosening.
- Washer (E): Four standard washers are used with the bolts.
Cushions:
- Arm Cushion (G): Two cushions designed for the armrests, with slanted sides to fit the back of the sofa.
- Seat Cushion (H): Three cushions for the main seating area.
- Back Cushion (I): Three cushions for the backrest.
Assembly Tool:
- Allen Key (B): One Allen key is included for tightening the M10 bolts.

The assembly process is estimated to take 15 minutes and requires one person, suggesting a relatively straightforward assembly. The difficulty level is rated as "1" (presumably on a scale, though the maximum is not specified, "1" implies easy).

Usage Features:

The TIMBER Sofa is designed for general indoor use as a seating furniture. The presence of separate seat and back cushions suggests a modular comfort system, potentially allowing for easier cleaning or replacement of individual cushions. The design with visible legs elevates the sofa from the floor, which can contribute to a sense of spaciousness in a room and potentially ease of cleaning underneath. The instruction to ensure leg angles are correct and bolts are fully tightened before moving the sofa highlights the importance of structural integrity for safe and stable use.

Maintenance Features:

The manual includes a crucial maintenance tip: "Hardware may loosen over time, check the bolts regularly and tighten if necessary." This indicates that periodic inspection and tightening of the leg bolts (C) are recommended to maintain the sofa's stability and safety. While not explicitly stated, the separate cushions (G, H, I) often imply that their covers might be removable for cleaning, a common feature in modern sofas, though this specific detail is not confirmed by the provided pages. The initial assembly instruction to place all parts on a soft, clean, and flat surface like a carpet is a preventative measure to avoid scratches during assembly, which indirectly contributes to the long-term aesthetic maintenance of the product. The mention of Customer Care for assistance with difficulty also implies support for troubleshooting potential issues that might arise during the product's lifespan.
