This document provides assembly instructions and care guidelines for the homestyles 6660-30 Dining Table, a piece of furniture designed for outdoor or indoor dining. The table features an ornate, round tabletop and a decorative pedestal base with four curved legs and stretchers.
The homestyles 6660-30 Dining Table serves as a central piece for dining and social gatherings. Its primary function is to provide a stable and aesthetically pleasing surface for meals, drinks, and other items. The design, featuring a central umbrella hole, suggests its suitability for outdoor use, allowing for the addition of a patio umbrella to provide shade. The table's construction from aluminum indicates its intended durability and resistance to outdoor elements, making it a practical choice for patios, decks, or garden areas. The adjustable levelers on the legs ensure stability on uneven surfaces, enhancing its versatility across various environments.
The assembly process for the dining table is designed to be straightforward, emphasizing careful handling and proper tightening to ensure the product's integrity and longevity. Users are instructed to carefully remove parts from the carton and place them on a soft cloth to prevent scratches, highlighting the importance of protecting the finish during assembly. The use of a soft cloth between parts and the floor is also recommended during assembly to prevent damage.
A key usage feature is the material composition: the table is made of aluminum. This choice of material has specific implications for assembly and long-term use. Users are explicitly warned against using power tools above 8 volts for assembly and are advised to tighten bolts only until snug, as over-tightening can damage the aluminum. This detail is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of the table and preventing deformation or stripping of threads.
The assembly sequence involves attaching the legs to the stretchers first, using flat washers, spring washers, and nuts. It's important to note that these nuts should only be tightened halfway at this stage. This partial tightening allows for flexibility and alignment of parts before final securement, which is a common practice in furniture assembly to ensure all components fit together correctly without undue stress.
Following the base assembly, the tabletop (Part A) is placed upside down on a soft cloth. Bolts are then inserted into pre-drilled holes in the tabletop and tightened. The assembled base unit is then attached to the tabletop using flat washers, spring washers, and nuts, again tightening these nuts only halfway. This two-stage tightening process ensures that the entire structure can be properly aligned before all connections are fully secured. Once all components are in place and aligned, all nuts from both steps 1 and 2 are to be fully tightened. This systematic approach helps in achieving a stable and well-aligned final product.
After the main structure is assembled and tightened, the nuts are covered with caps, which not only provide a cleaner aesthetic but also protect the nuts from environmental exposure, potentially extending their lifespan and preventing corrosion.
The final steps involve turning the table over to its upright position. The central umbrella hole, a significant feature for outdoor use, is then covered with a dedicated cover if an umbrella is not being used. This cover helps maintain a smooth tabletop surface and prevents debris from accumulating in the hole.
A practical usage feature is the inclusion of adjustable levelers on the bottom of the legs. These levelers allow users to fine-tune the table's height and stability, ensuring it remains level even on uneven surfaces. This is particularly beneficial for outdoor settings where ground surfaces may not be perfectly flat. The ability to level the table prevents wobbling and enhances the dining experience.
The manual also provides a list of hardware and tools required for assembly, including a hex wrench, a wrench, spring washers, M8 nuts, M8x30 bolts, flat washers, caps, and a cover. A small hex wrench is also listed, indicating that different sizes of hex wrenches might be needed for various fasteners. The explicit mention of "Tool(s) required for assembly: Level" underscores the importance of ensuring the table is perfectly level for optimal functionality and appearance.
The care instructions for the homestyles 6660-30 Dining Table are comprehensive, focusing on preventing common types of damage and preserving the table's finish and structural integrity. These guidelines are crucial for extending the lifespan and maintaining the aesthetic appeal of the furniture.
A fundamental maintenance principle is "NEVER allow liquids to remain on furniture." This is because absorption can cause parts to warp, split, and finishes to delaminate, indicating that while the table is made of aluminum, prolonged exposure to standing liquids can still be detrimental, likely affecting any coatings or sealants.
Another strict "NEVER" is against using glass cleaners on finished furniture. Ammonia, a common ingredient in many glass cleaners, is explicitly stated to "chemically attack the finish." This warning highlights the sensitivity of the table's surface to harsh chemicals and guides users toward safer cleaning alternatives.
Specific warnings related to usage and placement are also provided:
The recommended cleaning method is simple and gentle: "CLEAN with a soft cloth moistened in lukewarm soap and water. Buff with a dry clean cloth." This method is designed to effectively remove dirt and grime without damaging the finish, aligning with the warnings against harsh chemicals and abrasive materials.
The manual also includes a warranty statement, indicating that homestyles will provide free replacements for missing or damaged parts within 2 years of purchase. Digital images of defective parts may be required. However, if the product was not purchased from an authorized retailer, homestyles is not obligated to provide replacement parts. Parts are not available for fully assembled items or for sale separately. This warranty policy serves as a maintenance feature by offering recourse for manufacturing defects or shipping damage, ensuring the product can be kept in good condition.
Finally, the instruction to "Keep Wrench as the bolts may need to be tightened in the future" is a practical maintenance tip. Over time, due to use and environmental factors, bolts can loosen, and periodic re-tightening ensures the table remains stable and safe. The mention of using the included adjustable levelers to level the unit if it needs to work properly also falls under ongoing maintenance, addressing potential wobbling issues that may arise from uneven surfaces or settling.
