The Androgyne Side Table, Ø50, designed by Danielle Siggerud, is a stylish and functional piece of furniture that requires assembly. This manual provides detailed instructions to ensure correct and safe assembly, emphasizing the importance of careful and complete reading of the instructions before beginning the process.

Function Description:

The Androgyne Side Table serves as a versatile piece of furniture, designed to complement various interior settings. Its primary function is to provide a stable and accessible surface for holding items such as drinks, books, or decorative objects, typically placed next to a sofa, armchair, or bed. The unique design, characterized by its distinctive base structure, adds an aesthetic element to any room, making it not just a utilitarian item but also a statement piece. The table's construction involves a series of interlocking wooden legs and brackets, culminating in a circular tabletop. The assembly process is designed to be straightforward, allowing users to build the table themselves with the provided components and tools.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Model: Androgyne Side Table, Ø50
• Designer: Danielle Siggerud
• Tabletop Diameter: Ø50 (presumably 50 cm, though units are not explicitly stated, this is a standard diameter for side tables)
• Components:
  • 4 x Legs: These are the primary structural elements of the base, designed to interlock.
  • 1 x Table Top: The circular surface of the table.
  • 1 x Mounting Bracket: A central bracket used to secure the legs and connect them to the tabletop.
  • 1 x Base Bracket: Another central bracket, likely for the lower part of the leg assembly.
  • 4 x Dowels: Small cylindrical pins used for alignment and reinforcement during assembly.
  • 12 x Screws: Fasteners used to secure various components.
  • 4 x Glide: Small protective feet to be attached to the bottom of the legs, preventing scratches on floors and providing stability.
  • 1 x Allen Key: The necessary tool for tightening the screws.
• Material (Implied): The illustrations suggest wooden components for the legs and tabletop, given the use of dowels and screws typically associated with wood furniture assembly. The brackets appear to be metal, providing structural integrity.

Usage Features:

The Androgyne Side Table is designed for indoor use. Its compact size (Ø50) makes it suitable for smaller spaces or as an accent piece in larger rooms. The assembly process is a key usage feature, as it allows the user to construct the table from its individual components.

• Assembly Steps:

  1. Leg Assembly (Step 1): Two legs are joined together, likely using dowels for alignment.
  2. Leg Assembly with Base Bracket (Step 2): The joined legs are then secured to the base bracket using screws. This step emphasizes loosely tightening screws initially.
  3. Interlocking Leg Structure (Step 3): The remaining two legs are introduced and interlocked with the previously assembled leg and base bracket structure.
  4. Securing the Interlocked Legs (Step 4): The newly interlocked legs are secured to the base bracket with additional screws, again with an initial loose tightening.
  5. Attaching Glides (Step 5): The four glides are attached to the bottom of the assembled leg structure, providing floor protection and stability.
  6. Attaching Mounting Bracket (Step 6): The mounting bracket is secured to the top of the leg structure using screws. This is the final step for the base assembly, after which all screws should be tightened completely.
  7. Attaching Tabletop (Step 7): The tabletop is placed onto the assembled base and secured to the mounting bracket with screws.
  8. Final Product (Step 8): The fully assembled Androgyne Side Table is ready for use.

• Assembly Precaution: All assembly should be performed on a soft and flat surface to prevent damage or scratches to the components.

• Screw Tightening Protocol: During the assembly of the base, screws should be loosely tightened initially. Only once all screws are in place should they be tightened completely. This allows for minor adjustments and ensures proper alignment before final securing.

Maintenance Features:

While specific detailed care instructions are not provided within the manual itself, the document directs users to an external resource for this information.

• Care Instructions: Users are advised to visit www.menuspace.com for comprehensive care and maintenance instructions. This suggests that the materials used may require specific cleaning agents or methods to preserve their appearance and longevity.
• Durability (Implied): The robust assembly process, involving multiple screws and brackets, suggests a durable construction designed for long-term use, provided proper care is followed. The inclusion of glides also indicates a consideration for protecting both the table and the user's flooring from wear and tear.
