A round glass coffee table is an elegant and functional piece that can complement any modern living space. With its sleek design and versatility, it offers both aesthetic appeal and practicality. However, before you can enjoy its beauty and utility, assembling it correctly is crucial. 

This step-by-step guide will walk you through the assembly process of your glass round coffee table, ensuring you enjoy a sturdy and stylish centerpiece in your living room.

Precautions Before Assembly

• Handle Glass Safely: The top glass is heavy and fragile. Always lift with two adults and never drag it across surfaces.
• Prepare a Safe Workspace: Assemble on a flat, stable floor away from children and pets.
• Check Parts & Hardware: Confirm that all pieces and hardware are included before starting to avoid interruptions.
• Use Correct Tools: Rely on the Allen key provided and basic hand tools. Avoid power tools to prevent overtightening.
• Work with Assistance: Ask for help when lifting or positioning the glass to ensure safe handling.

Assembly Steps

Step 1: Overview of Parts

The first step is to familiarize yourself with the components. Having a clear understanding of each part is essential for smooth assembly.

• Top Glass (A): The centerpiece of the coffee table.
• Top Frame (B): The frame that supports the glass top.
• Bottom Frame (C): The base of the coffee table.
• Legs (D): The four legs that support the table.
• Metal Caps (E): These caps go on the frame to enhance both stability and appearance.

Step 2: Attach the Legs to the Bottom Frame

Now, move on to attaching the legs to the Bottom Frame (C):

1. Insert each Leg (D) into the respective slots on the Bottom Frame (C).
2. Secure the legs using the Bolts (①) and the Allen Key (②).
3. Tighten each bolt sequentially to ensure the frame is firmly assembled.

Make sure that the legs are positioned correctly and the Bottom Frame (C) is aligned with the top frame. This ensures that the table will be perfectly symmetrical and stable when it’s set up.

Step 3: Attach the Legs to the Top Frame

Start by attaching the legs to the Top Frame (B). This step involves the following actions:

1. Align each Leg (D) with the pre-drilled holes in the Top Frame (B).
2. Use the Bolts (①) and the Allen Key (②) to secure the legs to the frame.
3. Tighten the bolts in a sequential manner, ensuring each leg is securely fixed to the frame. It’s important to tighten each bolt partially, then gradually tighten them all to avoid any misalignment.

Helpful Tip:
Ensure you are placing the legs in the correct orientation. The legs should be positioned to provide maximum stability once the table is upright.

Step 4: Attach the Metal Caps

Once the legs are securely in place, the next step is attaching the Metal Caps (E). These caps not only provide a polished look but also enhance the stability of your table.

1. Carefully place the Metal Caps (E) onto the Top Frame (B), where the legs are attached.
2. Insert the Antiskid Pads (③) into the metal caps as shown in the picture. These pads prevent slipping, ensuring the table remains stable on smooth surfaces.

Helpful Tip:
The Antiskid Pads (③) also help protect your floors from any potential damage by reducing friction between the table and the surface it rests on.

Step 5: Attach the Top Glass

The most delicate step is placing the Top Glass (A) onto the Top Frame (B):

1. Gently lower the Top Glass (A) onto the Top Frame (B), ensuring it is centered and sits properly within the frame.
2. Be cautious during this step, as the glass can be heavy and fragile. It’s recommended to ask for assistance to safely place the glass.

Once the glass is in place, check to ensure that it is sitting evenly and securely within the frame. A small shift or misalignment can affect the overall aesthetic and stability of the table.

Step 6: Final Adjustments

With the table nearly assembled, the final step involves making sure everything is aligned and level:

1. With the help of an adult or a second person, carefully lift the assembled coffee table and place it upright.
2. Adjust the pre-installed levellers on the Front Legs (C) and Back Legs (D) to ensure the table is level with the ground. This ensures the table remains stable on uneven surfaces.
3. Check that the table is balanced by gently rocking it to ensure no wobbling.

Place the coffee table on a flat, hard surface, such as a hardwood or tile floor, to prevent any instability.

Care & Maintenance Tips

• Use a clean surface during assembly to avoid damaging components, especially the glass top.
• Clean the glass top regularly with a suitable glass cleaner to maintain clarity and prevent scratches.
• Wipe metal parts with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris; avoid harsh chemicals.
• Check and retighten bolts and screws periodically, especially on the legs and frame.
• Adjust the pre-installed levellers on the legs if the table becomes uneven.
• Protect surfaces from scratches and heat by avoiding sharp objects or hot items directly on glass or metal.
• Store in a cool, dry place if not in use for extended periods to prevent damage from moisture or heat.

Assembling a Glass Round Coffee Table may seem like a daunting task at first, but with the right tools and instructions, the process can be straightforward and enjoyable. Following each step carefully ensures that your table is sturdy, safe, and visually appealing.

FAQs

1. What should I do if one leg of the coffee table feels shorter than the others?

Place the table on a flat surface and check the levellers. Adjust them gradually until the table sits evenly without wobbling.

2. What if the coffee table bolts loosen frequently even after tightening?

Apply a small amount of thread-locking adhesive to the bolts before tightening. This helps secure them and reduces the need for constant retightening.

3. What should I do if the coffee table glass top cracks?

If the glass top cracks, it’s crucial to replace it immediately. Contact Aosom’s customer support for glass replacement, ensuring it’s the right size and type for your table’s frame to avoid safety hazards.
