Troubleshooting
Lift mechanism feels stiff or is difficult to raise/lower.
First, check for any obstructions around or within the mechanism. Ensure no items are blocking its path. If clear, gently apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts of the mechanism. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust. Always refer to the assembly manual for specific maintenance recommendations.
Tabletop wobbles when lifted or in coffee table position.
Ensure all screws and fasteners used during assembly are fully tightened. Check the table's placement on the floor; uneven surfaces can cause wobbling. If your floor is uneven, consider using furniture pads or shims under the legs to level the table.
Scratch or scuff marks appear on the surface.
For minor scratches, wood repair pens or polishes designed for oak finishes can often reduce their visibility. For deeper marks, consult a furniture repair specialist. Always use coasters and placemats to prevent new damage.
Hidden storage compartment seems stuck or difficult to open.
Check if any items inside the compartment are jammed against the lid or mechanism, preventing it from opening smoothly. Redistribute items evenly. Ensure the table is on a level surface, as twisting can sometimes affect the mechanism's alignment.

Care:

Protection: Use coasters under drinks and placemats under hot dishes or laptops to protect the surface from heat and moisture.
Sunlight: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration of the wood finish over time.
Mechanism Care: Periodically check the lift mechanism for smooth operation. If it becomes stiff, ensure no debris is trapped, and if necessary, a small amount of silicone spray (designed for furniture mechanisms) may be applied, but always check manufacturer recommendations first.
