How to Assemble a Two-Tier Coffee Table with Swivel Top

Step 1: Unboxing & Organizing

Instruction: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. You should have one elliptical wooden base (possibly with a built-in storage compartment), a round black tabletop, supporting brackets or arms (for the swivel mechanism), and a hardware kit (screws, bolts, washers). Lay everything out on a clean surface, verifying each item against your assembly manual.

Step 2: Identifying the Base & Support Points

Instruction: Place the elliptical wooden base in your desired orientation, ensuring its underside or internal structure is easily accessible. Look for pre-drilled holes or mounting brackets where the swivel arm or pivot mechanism will attach. If the design includes adjustable feet or a separate plinth, secure that now according to the manual.

Step 3: Attaching the Swivel Mechanism

Instruction: Align the swivel arm or pivot bracket with the pre-drilled holes on the base. Insert the bolts or screws provided, leaving them slightly loose until the arm is in the correct position. Double-check that the arm can rotate freely without obstruction. If the mechanism includes washers or bushings, install them according to the manual’s guidelines.

Step 4: Mounting the Round Black Top

Instruction: Carefully place the round black tabletop onto the free end of the swivel arm. Align any pre-drilled holes or brackets under the tabletop with the arm’s mounting points. Secure the top with the provided bolts or screws. Gently test the pivot or swivel action by moving the tabletop side to side.

Step 5: Final Checks & Styling

Instruction: Gently shake the entire table to confirm stability. Tighten any remaining bolts or screws, then wipe down all surfaces with a soft cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Finally, position your new coffee table in the living room—use the lower elliptical section for décor or storage, and enjoy the adjustable round top for snacks, beverages, or extra display space.
