Before attaching tilt mechanisms to big board, you must

ensure that the rear wood frame is sitting ﬂ ush on the

board surface. Adjust the tilt mechanisms as necessary

to ensure no space is left between these surfaces, and

then securely tighten the four screws that attach the tilt

mechanisms to the rear oak crossbar.

Mark the locations in large board for four holes in tilt

mechanisms. Be sure bracket on end of tilt mechanism

is ﬂ ush to board. Use an awl or drill with 1/16" bit to

make starter holes. Use care not to drill all the way

through the tabletop. Attach using 3/4" Phillips

screws. Tighten securely but use care not to over

tighten and strip.

Attach drawer face to drawer front using 1" Phillips

screws. Note: Drawer face has two sets of predrilled

holes. Use the upper set

upper set and be sure that lock is on

the right side. Use care to ensure face is attached

straight, square, and centered to the drawer unit.

Tighten screws securely.

Gripping drawer rails and drawer together, turn drawer

upside down and align rail brackets with holes in wood

rails attached to small board, as shown in diagram.

Attach using 3/4" Phillips screws. Tighten securely.

Carefully return assembled table to its upright position.

This will require two people. Use care to keep drawer

unit from sliding open.

Adjust tilt of tabletop to desired angle. The ratcheted tilt

mechanisms allow you to set the tabletop at a variety

of comfortable working angles. Simply lift the table

top from the back edge until it clicks into the desired

position. To return the top to the ﬂ at position, raise the

back edge as high as it will go. This will release the

ratchet mechanism.

And ﬁ nally, just when you think you’re done, go back

and retighten all the screws and bolts on the entire

table to ensure that it remains strong, sturdy, and stable

for many years of use. You may want to ﬁ ne-tune the

position of the drawer face at this time if it is not quite

straight and in line with the base frame. Slightly loosen

the drawer face screws from the inside and reposition

as necessary.

Insert mushroom caps into unused side frame holes.

These caps are pressure ﬁ t but you may want to apply a

small drop of glue inside the hole to ensure they do not

fall out over time.

Please save these instructions for future reference.
