Overview

1. Function Description
2. Usage Features
3. Maintenance Features

The Enwork Expanse Conference Table is a sophisticated and versatile furniture solution designed for modern meeting spaces, offering a blend of aesthetic appeal and practical functionality. This installation guide provides comprehensive instructions for assembling the table, ensuring a sturdy and level setup. The table's design emphasizes clean lines and a minimalist profile, making it suitable for a wide range of office environments, from corporate boardrooms to collaborative workspaces.

Function Description

The primary function of the Enwork Expanse Conference Table is to provide a stable and spacious surface for meetings, presentations, and collaborative work. Its modular design allows for various configurations and lengths, accommodating different room sizes and user capacities. The table is engineered to support multiple worksurfaces, creating a continuous and expansive tabletop. Integrated features facilitate cable management and power access, ensuring a clutter-free and functional workspace for electronic devices. The robust construction, utilizing extrusions and base assemblies, ensures long-term durability and stability, even with heavy use. The table's leveling mechanisms allow for precise adjustments, guaranteeing a perfectly flat surface regardless of floor irregularities.

Usage Features

The Enwork Expanse Conference Table is designed for ease of use and adaptability. Its modular nature means that the table can be expanded or reconfigured as needs change, making it a flexible investment for evolving office spaces. The table's surface is designed to be durable and easy to clean, capable of withstanding the rigors of daily office use.

The installation process highlights several key usage features:

• Modular Extrusion System: The table frame is built using a series of extrusions (left, mid, and center) that connect to form the desired length. This modularity is crucial for customizing the table to specific dimensions. The extrusions feature U-channels and C-channels, which are integral to the assembly and provide pathways for internal components.
• Robust Base Assemblies: The table is supported by sturdy base assemblies, each comprising a base plate, right and left base legs, and an inside base bottom cover. These components are designed to provide maximum stability. The base plates are equipped with easy-adjust glides, allowing for fine-tuning of the table's height and level.
• Integrated Leveling System: A critical usage feature is the accessible leveling system. Levelers are integrated into the base and can be accessed through holes on the top of the base. This allows users to easily adjust the table's height and ensure it is perfectly level, both along its length and across its depth. This is particularly important for large conference tables to prevent wobbling and ensure a comfortable working surface.
• Secure Connection Mechanisms: The table utilizes a variety of bolts, nuts, and draw plates to create strong and secure connections between all components. Hex head bolts (e.g., .375-16 x 1.25", .375-16 x 2.25", .50-13 x 4.00") and square nuts ensure that the frame is tightly assembled. Draw plates (Draw Plate 1 and Draw Plate 2) are used to pull extrusions together, creating flush and seamless joints.
• Top Plate Assembly and Brackets: The top plate assembly connects the base legs to the extrusions, providing a solid foundation for the tabletop. Top connection brackets (EAM-1024) are inserted into the extrusions to provide attachment points for the worksurfaces. These brackets can be positioned along the length of the extrusion to accommodate various tabletop configurations and cutouts for power units.
• Worksurface Integration: The table is designed to accommodate multiple worksurfaces, which are attached to the frame using embedded braces and screws. The installation guide emphasizes aligning these surfaces to create a continuous and smooth tabletop. The design ensures that screw heads do not interfere with the worksurface, maintaining a flat and usable area.
• Cable Management (Implied): While not explicitly detailed in the provided excerpts, the presence of C-channels and the overall design of the extrusions strongly imply an integrated cable management system. These channels typically allow for routing power and data cables discreetly, keeping the tabletop clear of clutter and enhancing the table's functionality for modern meeting technology.
• Kickstand for Stability During Assembly: A practical usage feature during installation is the provision of kickstands. These temporary supports are placed under the base assemblies to prevent them from falling forward while the beams are being secured, simplifying the assembly process and enhancing safety.
• End Caps: Extrusion end caps (EAM-2010-x) are used to finish the ends of the extrusions, providing a clean aesthetic and protecting the internal components. These are securely fastened with bolts and square nuts.

Maintenance Features

The Enwork Expanse Conference Table is designed with minimal maintenance in mind, focusing on durability and ease of cleaning.

• Durable Materials: The use of robust materials for the extrusions, base plates, and other structural components ensures that the table can withstand the wear and tear of daily use in a busy office environment. This inherent durability reduces the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
• Accessible Leveling: The easily accessible levelers are a key maintenance feature. Over time, floors can settle or tables can be moved, leading to uneven surfaces. The ability to quickly and easily re-level the table ensures its stability and usability, preventing wobbling and potential damage to the tabletop or items placed on it.
• Modular Component Replacement: In the event of damage to a specific component, the modular design allows for individual parts (e.g., an extrusion, a base leg, or a worksurface) to be replaced without needing to dismantle or replace the entire table. This reduces repair costs and extends the overall lifespan of the furniture.
• Simple Cleaning: The worksurfaces are typically made from materials that are easy to wipe clean, requiring only standard office cleaning products. The design minimizes crevices where dust and debris can accumulate, further simplifying maintenance.
• Secure Fasteners: The use of high-quality bolts and nuts ensures that connections remain tight over time. The installation guide emphasizes fully tightening all fasteners, which contributes to the table's long-term stability and reduces the need for re-tightening.
• Protection of Internal Components: The end caps and base bottom covers protect the internal mechanisms and wiring (if applicable) from dust, spills, and accidental damage, contributing to the longevity of the table's functional elements.
• Clear Installation Guide: A well-documented installation guide, like the one provided, serves as a valuable maintenance resource. It details the correct assembly procedures, which, if followed, contribute to the table's structural integrity and reduce the likelihood of issues arising from improper setup. It also provides a reference for disassembling or reconfiguring the table if needed.

In summary, the Enwork Expanse Conference Table is a thoughtfully designed piece of office furniture that prioritizes functionality, adaptability, and long-term value through its modular construction, integrated features, and user-friendly maintenance aspects.
