IMPORTANT NOTES & CAUTIONS/WARNINGS
• Carefully read and follow these instructions for assembly.
• Please handle parts carefully, some parts may be heavy and can have sharp edges –
we recommend possibly using cloth protective gloves for extra protection.
• To protect the unit and your flooring surface we recommend working on a padded or carpeted
area, you may also use the open box the unit came in for this purpose.
• For proper construction & integrity/assembly and for TV weight support and safety, all
connections need to be sufficiently tight. However, do not over-tighten connections to the point
of stripping screw threadings. Parts are designed to fit together tightly, however, avoid excessive
force but rather align & fit panels together methodically and with patience.
• For some heavy or large units, it may be recommended for 2 people to work together on this
assembly.
• Please read additional important safety information at the end of this instruction manual.
• We urge you to keep this manual with your unit for future reference.
SPECIAL NOTE
In all steps involving cam-
locks, please note the cor-
rect position of the cam-
lock in the illustration at
the left. Check all cam-
locks before aligning and
joining pieces together.
IMPORTANT: Throughout
assembly of the unit,
camlocks must be inserted with the
openings facing the nearest unfinished
edge and screwdriver slot parallel to
unfinished edge.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please carefully read & follow these important safety information notes for proper use of the furniture you have just assembled.
They are designed to avoid unsafe conditions that can result in property damage, bodily injury or death. We therefore urge strict
adherence to the following basic principals:
• Install this unit on a flat & level surface only.
• Avoid placing unit in direct sunlight or near heating source. We recommend not placing unit directly against wall but rather leav-
ing a narrow space between unit and wall for proper ventilation of your A/V equipment.
• Do not exceed the above recommended weight loading limits as this can result in sagging or structural failure of the supporting
panel leading to unsafe conditions.
• TV screen sizes are measured diagonally, therefore, base foot-print size for specific TV’s can not be determined by screen size
as they vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Rather you will need to measure the TV’s base foot print and compare it to the
glass top panel surface size of your furniture as listed in this manual.
• Make sure to place TV within the surface area of the top panel, a bit inward from the front edge and centered. Never use with
a TV that is too large. The TV base foot print surface must be able to sit completely on the top panel surface.
• When choosing locations for stacking A/V components on shelves, make sure to place the heaviest A/V equipment on the low-
est possible shelves/bottom panels first.
• Children should never be allowed to climb on or play with this furniture or/and the TV. This can result in an unsafe situa-
tion which may lead to the TV and/or the furniture itself to become unsteady, slip, tip or fall over. Avoid using higher shelves or
the top surface of the TV for objects that may tempt children to reach and climb. Such items can include toys, food, as well as
remote controls, etc. Proper supervision and common sense is always required.
• Glass surfaces and doors are “Tempered.” This is a special process for achieving strength and safety. Although durable & solid
we recommend avoiding bumping into glass with force or dropping or chipping edges etc. Special caution should be given to
glass corners, both, for protection of glass as well as most importantly to avoid the possibility of injuries resulting from strong
impacts against corners especially with children. Doors should be opened & closed gently. (Tempered glass is designed to
shatter upon very strong impact and rather than producing sharp knife-like dangerous edges, it turns instead into small pebble-
like pieces.)
• Moving the unit: Do not drag unit when moving, especially not on a carpeted surface or on a rug. It is always recommended
instead to lift unit from both ends with a friend’s help. For the sake of safety and to avoid damages, we recommend you
remove the TV and all A/V components prior to moving this stand. It is a good idea to remove the glass panel surfaces as well.
If this is not possible please use much caution and good judgment and seek help to ensure stability and safety as the stand is
being moved. Make sure afterwards to properly re-adjust glass top and all equipment, centered and stable as originally
instructed above.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The glass top panel surface (Part #1) is designed to be used with
TV's and other A/V equipment
NOT weighing more than 220 lbs.
The loading weight needs to be evenly
distributed across top panel and for optimum stability, place TV in a
center position on glass top, not unbalanced to the side
against edge for example.
Avoid concentration of heavy weight loading, (over 110 lbs.), on a
small surface area of less than 311/2" in width.
Also: Note dimensions for Glass Top Panel
Surface as listed at the beginning of this manual
and read the following
"Important Safety Precautions".
Part #2, Glass Shelf, is designed to be used with A/V components
NOT weighing more than 110 lbs.
Part #4 (Fixed Shelf) and Part #5 (Bottom Panel), are designed
to be used with A/V components
NOT weighing more than 66 lbs. per shelf.
Part #6 (Adjustable Shelf), is designed
to be used with A/V components
NOT weighing more than 44 lbs. per shelf.
HOWEVER, for the total unit loading
capacity, DO NOT exceed a total of 440 lbs.
