Safety Warnings:
- The product must only be used on firm, level ground.
- Small parts should be kept out of reach of children.
- The product must be fully assembled before use.
- Do not overtighten screws or bolts.
- Do not stand on the product.
- Avoid using power tools for assembly to prevent overtightening and panel failure.
- Crucially, do not release the catch locks under the top panel before fixing the leg frames, as this will cause the panels to detach.
General Warnings:
- Always lift, never drag, furniture when moving it.
- Periodically check and re-tighten all fixings.
- Careless handling can cause damage or injury.
- Assembly should be carried out by a competent person.
- For heavy items, it is recommended to completely disassemble them before moving to avoid injury or damage, retaining all fittings.
- Installation must follow manufacturer's instructions to avoid safety risks.

Maintenance Features:

Regular Inspection: Users are advised to regularly inspect the table to ensure all screws or bolts are tightened.
Wood Care:
- Cleaning: For furniture with a hard lacquer, wax polish, or painted surface, dust with a dry cloth.
- Waxed Furniture: Requires a coat of beeswax a couple of times a year to maintain its luster.
- Avoid Spray Polishes: Spray polishes containing silicones may spoil the furniture's surface.
- Protection from Heat and Liquids: Always use mats and coasters to protect surfaces from heat and liquids. Wipe up spills immediately. Place a mat or pad under paper when writing.
- Even Appearance: Extendable dining tables should be left extended for the first few months to avoid an uneven appearance. Lamps and ornaments should also be moved regularly to prevent uneven fading or marks.
- Temperature Control: While the furniture is designed for home temperatures, avoid placing it next to heat sources like radiators or fires. Solid wood is particularly susceptible to warping due to lack of humidity from central heating.
Storage Units (over 600mm): Installation must strictly follow manufacturer instructions to prevent safety risks.
