Troubleshooting
Table wobbles after assembly
Ensure all leg screws are securely tightened. Check if the floor surface is uneven; adjust leg placement or use a table leveller if necessary.
Extension mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate
Ensure there are no obstructions. Check for any debris in the tracks. Gently operate the mechanism several times; lubrication may be needed if the issue persists (consult product manual if available).
Scratches on the table surface
Use a furniture repair pen or wax crayon in a matching black shade to conceal minor scratches. Always use placemats and coasters to prevent future damage.
Woven seat on chairs appears loose or damaged
For minor fraying, a small amount of fabric glue can be applied discreetly. For significant damage, professional repair or replacement of the seat may be required.
Black veneer peeling on the table
This may indicate damage from excessive heat or moisture. Minor peeling can sometimes be adhered with wood glue and clamped, but significant peeling may require professional refinishing.
