Function Description:

The Coaster 704418 coffee table is a piece of furniture designed for residential use, intended to serve as a central surface in a living area. Its primary function is to provide a stable and accessible surface for placing beverages, books, decorative items, or other small household objects. The design incorporates a main tabletop and an additional lower shelf, offering dual-level storage and display options. The aesthetic appears to be traditional or transitional, featuring turned legs and a two-tone finish, likely a darker top with lighter-colored legs and shelf, as depicted in the product images. This design aims to complement various interior decor styles while offering practical utility. The inclusion of a lower shelf enhances its functionality by providing extra space, helping to keep the main tabletop clear and organized.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific dimensions are not provided in the manual, the visual representation suggests a standard coffee table size suitable for a typical living room. The construction involves a tabletop (Part A), four table legs (Part B), and a shelf (Part C). The assembly process utilizes various hardware components, indicating a sturdy construction. Key hardware includes:

Allen Wrench (1 PC): Essential for tightening bolts.
Bolts (8 PCS): Used to secure the table legs to the tabletop.
Lock Washers (8 PCS): Provide a secure fastening by preventing bolts from loosening due to vibration or movement.
Flat Washers (8 PCS): Distribute the load of the fastener, preventing damage to the surface and providing a larger bearing surface.
Cam Nuts (4 PCS): Used in conjunction with cam bolts to create strong, concealed joints, particularly for attaching the shelf to the legs.
Cam Bolts (4 PCS): Inserted into the table legs to receive the cam nuts, forming a robust connection for the shelf.

The assembly sequence suggests a robust connection method, combining traditional bolt-and-washer fasteners with cam lock mechanisms for enhanced stability, especially for the shelf. The use of multiple types of fasteners indicates a design focused on durability and structural integrity. The materials are not explicitly stated but are implied to be wood or wood-composite given the "Fine Furniture" branding and typical construction of such items. The two-tone finish, as seen in the images, suggests a combination of stained and painted wood components.

Usage Features:

The coffee table is designed for ease of use and integration into a home environment. Its two-tier structure allows for versatile organization:

Top Surface: Ideal for everyday items like remote controls, drinks, snacks, or decorative centerpieces.
Lower Shelf: Provides additional storage for magazines, books, baskets, or other items, helping to reduce clutter on the main tabletop. The sturdy construction, once assembled, ensures a stable surface for various uses. The design, with its turned legs, adds a decorative element to any room. The product is explicitly stated for "home use only" and "not intended for commercial establishment," highlighting its design and durability for typical residential wear and tear. This distinction is important as commercial furniture often requires different levels of durability and safety certifications. The assembly process itself is designed to be straightforward, with clear instructions and diagrams, making it accessible for consumers to put together without professional help.

Maintenance Features:

The manual does not explicitly detail maintenance features, but based on the nature of the product (wood or wood-composite furniture), general care practices would apply:

Cleaning: Regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth is recommended to maintain its appearance. For spills, a slightly damp cloth followed by immediate drying is usually sufficient. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
Protection: Using coasters for drinks and placemats for hot items will help protect the tabletop from rings, stains, and heat damage.
Placement: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperature changes, which can cause wood to warp, fade, or crack. Maintaining a consistent humidity level in the room can also help preserve the furniture's integrity.
Tightening Hardware: Over time, fasteners in any assembled furniture can loosen. It is a good practice to periodically check and re-tighten all bolts and cam nuts using the provided Allen wrench to ensure the table remains stable and safe. The manual's emphasis on proper assembly and the warning about not attempting to repair broken parts suggest that proper initial assembly and subsequent care are crucial for the longevity of the product. If any parts are broken or defective, the user is advised to contact the store immediately, indicating that replacement parts might be available or a repair service could be offered. This approach minimizes the risk of further damage or injury from improperly repaired components.
