This document provides assembly instructions for the LANCASTER ROUND TABLE, identified by the model number INKHVY. It outlines a step-by-step process for assembling the table, including two distinct height configurations: Dining Height and Gathering Height.
Function Description:
The LANCASTER ROUND TABLE is a piece of furniture designed for use as either a dining table or a gathering table, depending on the chosen assembly configuration. Its primary function is to provide a stable, flat surface for various activities such as dining, socializing, or other household uses. The design incorporates a round tabletop supported by a central leg frame structure, ensuring stability and a classic aesthetic.
Important Technical Specifications:
Parts List:
- P1: Half Top Frame (Quantity: 2) - These form the circular tabletop when joined.
- P2: Mounting Board (Quantity: 1) - A central component for attaching the leg structure to the tabletop.
- P3: Leg Frame (Quantity: 1) - The main central support structure for the table.
- P4: Half Leg Frame (Quantity: 2) - These attach to the main leg frame to complete the base structure.
- P5: Gathering Height Connector (Quantity: 4) - Specific connectors used to achieve the taller gathering height configuration.
Hardware List:
- H1: Bolts Ø5/16"x75mm (Quantity: 4) - Long bolts used for attaching the assembled leg frame to the tabletop, particularly for the Dining Table configuration, and for attaching the Gathering Height Connector.
- H2: Bolts Ø5/16"x35mm (Quantity: 12) - Medium-length bolts used for attaching the Mounting Board (P2) to the Half Top Frames (P1).
- H3: Bolts Ø5/16"x25mm (Quantity: 8) - Shorter bolts used for attaching the Half Leg Frames (P4) to the main Leg Frame (P3).
- H4: Lock Washers Ø5/16" (Quantity: 24) - Used in conjunction with bolts to prevent loosening due to vibration or movement, ensuring a secure assembly.
- H5: Flat Washers Ø5/16"x19mm (Quantity: 24) - Used to distribute the load of the fastener over a larger area, protecting the material surface and providing a smoother bearing surface for the bolt head.
- H6: Metal Bracket (Quantity: 2) - Connecting brackets used in the assembly of the leg frame.
- H7: Allen Key 4mm (Quantity: 1) - The primary tool provided for tightening all bolts during assembly.
Usage Features:
Dual Height Configuration:
The table offers two distinct height options:
- Dining Height: This is the standard table height suitable for dining chairs. The assembly process for this configuration involves steps 1, 2, and 3.
- Gathering Height: This is a taller height, often referred to as counter or bar height, suitable for bar stools or standing gatherings. This configuration requires an additional step (Step 4) involving the "Gathering Height Connector" (P5).
Assembly Process:
The assembly is designed to be straightforward, broken down into five main steps:
- Step 1 (Tabletop Assembly): Involves securing the Mounting Board (P2) to the Half Top Frames (P1) using H2 bolts, H4 lock washers, and H5 flat washers, tightened with the H7 Allen Key. It emphasizes locking all spring clips under the tabletop.
- Step 2 (Leg Frame Assembly): Focuses on constructing the base by attaching the Half Leg Frames (P4) to the main Leg Frame (P3) using H3 bolts, H4 lock washers, H5 flat washers, and H6 metal brackets, again tightened with the H7 Allen Key.
- Step 3 (Dining Table Final Assembly): For the Dining Height configuration, this step involves attaching the assembled leg frame (from Step 2) to the assembled tabletop (from Step 1) using H1 bolts, H4 lock washers, and H5 flat washers.
- Step 4 (Gathering Table Final Assembly): For the Gathering Height configuration, this step is performed instead of or after Step 3. It involves attaching the "Gathering Height Connector" (P5) to the assembled tabletop and then attaching the leg frame to these connectors using H1 bolts, H4 lock washers, and H5 flat washers.
- Step 5 (Final Positioning): After completing the chosen height assembly, the table is turned upright, signifying the completion of assembly.
Adjustable Levelers:
A notable feature is the inclusion of adjustable levelers on the legs. This allows users to compensate for uneven floor surfaces, ensuring the table remains stable and wobble-free.
Safety Recommendations:
- Two-Person Assembly: It is recommended that two or more adults assemble the table for safety and ease.
- Protective Surface: Assembly should be performed on a flat, soft surface (e.g., carpet or cloth) to prevent scratching the finish of the components.
- Careful Unpacking: Users are advised not to discard any packaging content until assembly is complete to avoid accidentally losing small parts or hardware.
Maintenance Features:
Regular Bolt Inspection:
The manual explicitly states that bolts may loosen during normal everyday use. Therefore, a crucial maintenance feature is the recommendation to:
- Inspect and Re-tighten: Bolts should be inspected at least every 3 months and re-tightened as needed. This prevents potential damage or injury and ensures the table's continued stability.
