This document provides assembly instructions for a "Coffee Table" with the model number WCT-T1573.

Function Description

The device is a coffee table designed for household use. It features a lift-top mechanism, allowing the tabletop to be raised and extended forward, providing a versatile surface for dining, working, or other activities while seated on a sofa. Below the lift-top, there is a hidden storage compartment, ideal for keeping items out of sight but easily accessible. Additionally, the table includes an open shelf at the bottom, offering extra space for display or storage of books, magazines, or decorative items. The overall design suggests a modern and functional piece of furniture suitable for living rooms.

Important Technical Specifications

While specific dimensions for the assembled table are not explicitly stated, the assembly process reveals several key components and hardware specifications:

Parts List (Numbered Components):

1 (Top Panel): The main tabletop, which is designed to lift.
2 (Side Panels/Drawer Bottoms): These appear to be internal panels that form the base of the hidden storage compartment. There are two of these, suggesting a divided storage area or two separate internal sections.
3 (Bottom Shelf): The lower open shelf of the table.
4 (Side Panels for Storage): These are the side walls of the hidden storage compartment.
5 (Front/Back Panels for Storage): These complete the enclosure of the hidden storage compartment.
6 (Legs/Support Panels): These are the vertical support structures for the table. There are four of these.
7 (Horizontal Support Panels): These connect the legs and provide structural integrity, particularly for the bottom shelf.
8 (Internal Support Panels): These are additional internal panels that help form the structure and support the bottom shelf.
9 (Foot Studs): Small components attached to the bottom of the legs to protect the floor and provide stability.

Hardware List (Lettered Components):

A (Cam Locks): 24 pieces. Used for connecting panels securely.
B (Dowels): 20 pieces. Used for alignment and structural reinforcement.
C (Screws): 3.5x14mm, 26 pieces. Used for various connections, particularly for attaching the lift mechanism and other smaller components.
D (Screws): M6x20mm, 8 pieces. Larger screws, likely for more critical structural connections.
E (Lift Mechanism): 1 piece (appears to be a pair of mechanisms). This is the crucial component enabling the lift-top function.
F (Stickers/Caps): 26 pieces. Used to cover visible screw holes for a cleaner aesthetic.
G (Foot Pads/Glides): 4 pieces. These are the foot studs (item 9 in the parts list) that attach to the bottom of the legs.
H (Allen Wrench): 1 piece. A tool provided for assembly.
I (Cam Lock Pins): 8 pieces. Used in conjunction with cam locks for panel connections.

The assembly process indicates the use of cam lock and dowel systems for primary panel connections, reinforced with screws. The lift mechanism (E) is a significant feature, requiring careful installation.

Usage Features

The primary usage feature is the lift-top functionality. This allows the user to:

Adjust table height: Raise the tabletop to a more ergonomic height for eating, working on a laptop, or crafting while sitting on a sofa.
Access hidden storage: The space beneath the lifted tabletop provides a discreet compartment for storing remote controls, magazines, blankets, or other living room essentials, keeping the surface clutter-free.
Open shelf storage: The lower open shelf offers additional space for decorative items, books, or frequently accessed items.

The design emphasizes both utility and aesthetics, providing a practical solution for modern living spaces where multi-functional furniture is often desired. The instruction manual highlights the importance of correct installation of the lift mechanism to ensure proper function and prevent damage.

Maintenance Features

The manual does not explicitly detail maintenance features, but general care for a wooden coffee table would apply:

Cleaning: Regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth. For spills, wipe immediately with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the finish.
Protection: Use coasters under drinks and placemats under hot items to prevent stains and heat damage.
Lift Mechanism Care: While not specified, it's generally good practice to periodically check the screws and connections of the lift mechanism to ensure they remain tight. Lubrication might be needed over time if the mechanism becomes stiff, though this is not mentioned in the manual.
Tightening Components: The assembly instructions repeatedly emphasize "Tighten all components during installation" and "Don't tight all screws until assembly is finish" (sic), indicating that ensuring all fasteners are properly secured is crucial for the table's stability and longevity. This implies that periodic re-tightening of screws might be beneficial over the product's lifespan to maintain structural integrity.
Foot Pads: The inclusion of foot pads (G) helps protect both the table's legs and the floor from scratches and scuffs, reducing wear and tear.
Stickers/Caps (F): These cover screw holes, not only for aesthetics but also to prevent dust and debris from accumulating in the holes, which could potentially affect the wood over time.

The warning about "ADULT ASSEMBLY REQUIRED" and the need to "keep out of reach of children until assembly is complete" suggests a focus on safety during the initial setup. The note about "Please double check to the ensure that all parts of the package contents intact If you any parts are missing, broken, damaged or worn, stop using this products until repairs are made and factory replacement parts are installed" underscores the importance of using only intact components for safety and proper function. The instruction for "Two person installation" for certain steps implies that the table's size or complexity of assembly might require assistance, contributing to safer and more efficient setup.
