Based on the provided illustrations and instructions, the "James" product is a rectangular table, likely a desk or a small dining table, featuring a glass top and a wooden or metal frame.

Function Description:

The "James" table is designed to provide a stable, flat surface for various uses, such as working, dining, or displaying items. Its construction suggests it is intended for indoor use, likely within a home or office environment. The assembly process involves attaching the table legs and support beams to the tabletop, indicating a modular design that requires user assembly.

Important Technical Specifications:

Product Name: James
Product Code: AW52359-JLP
Reference Number: D010187
Components: The table consists of a glass tabletop (part 3), two leg assemblies (part 1), and two support beams (part 2 and 4).
Fittings: The assembly requires three types of screws:
- Type A: 6x65 MM (4 pieces)
- Type B: 6x15 MM (4 pieces)
- Type C: 6x20 MM (4 pieces)
Assembly Time: Approximately 30 minutes.
Personnel Required for Assembly: 2 people.
Weight: The product is explicitly stated as "HEAVY," emphasizing the need for care during lifting and assembly.
Compliance: The product complies with BS6206 and BS7376:2004 standards, which are relevant to safety requirements for glass in construction and for tables, trolleys, and desks with glass, respectively.

Usage Features:

Assembly: The table is a self-assembly item. The manual provides step-by-step visual instructions for assembly.
- Step 1: Involves attaching the support beams (part 4) to the leg assemblies (part 1) using screws type C (6x20 MM). This step is performed twice to create two complete leg structures.
- Step 2: Connects the two leg structures using the longer support beams (part 2) and screws type A (6x65 MM). This forms the base frame of the table.
- Step 3: Secures the glass tabletop (part 3) to the assembled base frame using screws type B (6x15 MM).
Safety Warnings:

Assembly should be performed by a competent person, and the manufacturer disclaims liability for damage or injury from incorrect installation.
- Heavy Items: Due to its weight, the product should be assembled as close as possible to its intended point of use. Disassembly is recommended before moving heavy objects to a new location to prevent injury or damage.
- Small Items: The fittings pack contains small items that must be kept away from young children.
- Glass-Specific (BS7376:2004):
  - If the glass is chipped or broken, discontinue use and contact the manufacturer/supplier.
  - Do not place very hot or very cold items directly on the glass surface without adequately thick table mats.
