Overview

This document provides comprehensive assembly instructions for the Coaster Fine Furniture End Table, model number 704987. It is designed to guide users through the process of setting up their new furniture piece efficiently and safely, ensuring a fast and easy assembly experience. The manual emphasizes the importance of proper preparation and adherence to the outlined steps to achieve the best results.

The primary function of this device is to serve as an end table, a versatile piece of furniture commonly used in living rooms, bedrooms, or other areas where a compact surface is needed. End tables are typically placed next to sofas, chairs, or beds to hold items such as lamps, books, remote controls, beverages, or decorative objects. Their design often complements existing decor, adding both functionality and aesthetic appeal to a space. The Coaster 704987 End Table, with its modern aesthetic, is intended to enhance the visual appeal of any room while providing a practical surface for everyday use.

One of the key usage features highlighted in the manual is the "Fine Furniture for every stage of life" motto, suggesting that the table is built with durability and timeless design in mind, making it suitable for various household needs over an extended period. The assembly process itself is designed to be user-friendly, with a clear breakdown of parts and steps. The estimated assembly time of 28 minutes indicates that it is a relatively quick and straightforward task, even for individuals with minimal experience in furniture assembly. This quick assembly time is a significant usage feature, as it minimizes the effort and time required from the user before they can enjoy their new furniture.

The manual begins with "ASSEMBLY TIPS" to prepare the user for the process. These tips include:

Remove hardware from box and sort by size: This step is crucial for organizing the components and preventing confusion during assembly. By sorting hardware, users can quickly identify the correct screws, bolts, and washers needed for each step, which significantly speeds up the process and reduces the likelihood of errors.
Please check to see that all hardware and parts are present prior to start of assembly: This pre-assembly check is a vital usage feature for ensuring a smooth build. It allows users to verify that they have all necessary components before committing to the assembly, preventing frustration if a part is missing later on. If any parts are missing, the user can contact the store immediately, avoiding delays.
Please follow attached instructions in the same sequence as numbered to assure fast & easy assembly: This emphasizes the importance of sequential execution. The instructions are structured in a logical order, and deviating from this sequence could lead to complications, incorrect assembly, or damage to the furniture. Following the steps as numbered ensures that each component is installed correctly and securely, contributing to the overall stability and longevity of the end table.

The manual also includes a "WARNING!" section, which is a critical usage feature for safety and product longevity:

Don't attempt to repair or modify parts that are broken or defective. Please contact the store immediately: This warning is essential for user safety and maintaining the product's integrity. Attempting to repair broken or defective parts could lead to further damage, potential injury, or compromise the structural stability of the table. Contacting the store ensures that users receive proper assistance, such as replacement parts or professional guidance.
This product is for home use only and not intended for commercial establishments: This clarifies the intended environment for the end table. Furniture designed for home use typically has different durability and safety standards compared to commercial-grade furniture. Using it in a commercial setting might void the warranty, lead to premature wear and tear, or pose safety risks due to different usage patterns and traffic levels. This distinction helps users understand the appropriate application for their furniture.

The "PARTS IDENTIFICATION" section is a key usage feature that visually lists and labels all components, including:

A: TOP GLASS (1PC): The main surface of the table, likely tempered glass for durability and safety.
B: BOTTOM HALF MIRROR (1PC): A reflective base that adds to the aesthetic and stability.
C: SUPPORT FRAME (2PCS): The structural elements that connect the top and bottom, providing stability and design.
D: CROSSBAR (4PCS): Additional support elements that reinforce the frame.

The "HARDWARE IDENTIFICATION" section further details the fasteners and tools required:

1: BOLT (5/16" x 25mm) (6PCS): Main fasteners for connecting structural components.
2: SHORT BOLT (3/16" x 8mm SR) (8PCS): Smaller fasteners for specific connections.
3: WASHER (5/16") (6PCS): Used with bolts to distribute pressure and prevent damage.
4: PLASTIC WASHER (5/16") (6PCS): Similar to regular washers, possibly for cushioning or protecting surfaces.
5: SUCTION CUP (Ø8mm) (4PCS): Likely used to secure the glass top to the frame, preventing it from sliding.
6: FOOT PAD (Ø40 x 15mm) (4PCS): Placed at the bottom of the table legs to protect floors and provide stability.
7: SPRING WASHER (5/16") (6PCS): Used with bolts to provide tension and prevent loosening over time.
8: LARGE ALLEN WRENCH (5mm) (1PC): The primary tool for tightening bolts.
9: SMALL ALLEN WRENCH (4mm) (1PC): A secondary tool for smaller bolts.

The inclusion of all necessary tools (Allen wrenches) as part of the hardware package is a significant usage feature, as it means users do not need to purchase additional tools to assemble the table. This convenience makes the assembly process more accessible and user-friendly.

The assembly steps are clearly illustrated and numbered:

STEP 1: Focuses on assembling the support frames (C) with the crossbars (D) using bolts, washers, and spring washers. The instruction "Do not tighten until each step is completed or instructed" is a crucial usage feature. This allows for slight adjustments during assembly, ensuring all parts align correctly before final tightening, which prevents misalignment and stress on the components.
STEP 2: Involves attaching the assembled support frames to the bottom half mirror (B) using bolts, washers, and foot pads. The foot pads (6) are installed here, which are important for protecting the floor and providing stability to the table.
STEP 3: Details the placement of the top glass (A) onto the assembled frame, secured by suction cups (5). The suction cups are a clever usage feature, ensuring the glass top remains firmly in place without the need for visible fasteners, maintaining the clean aesthetic of the table.

While the manual primarily focuses on assembly, certain aspects imply maintenance features. The use of durable materials like glass and metal (implied by the chrome finish in the illustrations) suggests that the table is designed for easy cleaning and long-term resilience. Glass surfaces are generally easy to wipe clean, and metal frames can be maintained with appropriate cleaners. The foot pads (6) not only protect floors but also contribute to the table's stability, which indirectly reduces wear and tear on the frame by preventing wobbling and excessive movement. The inclusion of spring washers (7) helps maintain the tightness of the bolts over time, reducing the need for frequent re-tightening and thus contributing to the table's overall maintenance and longevity.

In summary, the Coaster 704987 End Table is designed as a functional and aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture for home use. Its usage features emphasize ease of assembly, clear instructions, and safety warnings to ensure a positive user experience. The thoughtful inclusion of all necessary hardware and tools, along with tips for proper assembly, makes the process straightforward. While explicit maintenance instructions are not detailed, the choice of materials and design elements suggests a product that is easy to clean and built to last, requiring minimal ongoing care beyond general cleaning. The "Fine Furniture for every stage of life" tagline reinforces its intended durability and adaptability for various household needs over time.
