Installation Step 1 –Assembling bases
•If your table has two base sections then see
below. If it has a single base then skip to the
Leveling step (step 3)
•Set the two base sections end to end. The
ends without the black plates on top should
come together in the center.
•Use the provided square tubing spacer
(hardware item #8 and bolt (hardware item
#7) to fasten the two bases together per the
photo to the right.

Installation Step –Attach Top Mounting plate
•Locate two square tubing spacers (hardware
item #6) over the large holes in the top of
the frame per the photo to the right.
•Using the provided hardware item #9 flat
heat bolt attach the black plate to the frame
per the photo to the right. Follow this for
the opposite side of the frame also.

Installation Step 3 - Levelling
•Set the table base in the desired location
•Use a 4 or 6 foot level to Level the table
base by turning the glides on the bottom of
the table using a glide wrench or lifting the
base to turn them by hand.

Installation Step 4 –Sub-top installation
•Set the sub-top on the table bases. The
recessed areas in the underside of the sub-
top are to be located on the black metal
plates attached to the base. The sub-top
can be fastened to these metal plates after
top installation is complete.
•If the table ships with the top disassembled
insert the solid metal rods (hardware item
#3) into the square tubing per the photo to
the right.
•Place all sections of the sub-top matching up
the labeling on the sub-top. There is
matching labeling on the aluminum frame
•Use the supplied tight joint fasteners and
tightening tool to securely connect the sub-
top sections together. NOTE: ASSURE THAT
THE TOPS ARE PERFECTLY ALIGNED AND
LEVEL WHEN TIGHTENING.

Installation Step 5 –Metal Trim
•Place the aluminum trim pieces around the
perimeter per the labeling on the table and
adjoining pieces and on the sub-top. Screw
to the sub –top in the pre-drilled holes using
hardware #1. It is critical to assure
alignment at the seams. If alignment
cannot be achieved then adjustments need
to be made to the sub top BEFORE
proceeding. See the troubleshooting section
at the end of this instruction.
•Insert the center aluminum trim pieces on
ONE side of the power coves. This piece
does NOT get fastened down to the sub-top.
Let it float.

Installation Step 6 –Center Spine and sub panels
•Place the center spine sub panels under the
one side of the spine trim and then place the
opposite side of the spine trim per the photo
to the right. Again DO NOT fasten the
center spine trim down.
•Do a final check and make sure that all
perimeter screws are in, the perimeter is
aligned and the gaps between aluminum
pieces are less than 1/16” before
proceeding.
•For GLASS TABLES set the remaining white sub
panels in place per the photo to the right
Use hardware # 4 screw to hold the white
panels down to the sub-top through the
countersunk holes. Make sure the screw
head is below the surface of the white panel

Installation Step 6 –veneer panels
•For Veneer tables set the veneer panels in
place of the white panels on the previous
page. Use hardware item #2 to fasten these
panels from the underside of the table
through the subtop into the bottom of the
veneer panel. See the photo to the right
showing the countersunk holes in the subtop.

Installation Step 7 –Setting Glass Panels on Glass top tables only
•CAUTION: USE SUCTION PODS FOR HANDLING
GLASS PANELS
•Place the glass panels in the location labeled
on the glass and the white subpanels
•Glass will sit flush to 1/16” above the
aluminum frame and all gaps around the
perimeter should be 1/16” or less. It may
be necessary to center the glass in the
opening to slit any gap between the two
sides.

Installation Step 8 –Screw the top to the base
•Using hardware item #1 screw attach to the
top to the base frame through the holes in
the flat black plate that is recessed in the
cut-out on the underside of the table.
•The base panels will lift off for access for
floor cores.

Tavola Table Troubleshooting

Tavola Troubleshooting Guide
•It is recommended that at least 2 people perform
any of the troubleshooting steps
•Suction cups are required for all steps.
•Be sure to read through the troubleshooting guide
completely before beginning.

Misaligned seems on the perimeter
1. Remove all countersunk screws from
underside of the table.
2. Surface Panels must be removed
before any further steps can be
taken.
3. You should now have access to
perimeter frame fasteners.
4. Working in the problem area, remove
screws and adjust perimeter for
alignment. (It may be necessary to
plug holes with dowel and drill new.)

Closing Gaps between perimeter and top
5. If misalignment is still occurring, it
may be necessary to drill and
countersink a hole in the underside of
the frame.(This will correct any
twisting in the extrusion)
•When attempting to close any gaps
between the outer frame and top,
follow steps 1-3 from above.
•It may be helpful to put masking tape
in the areas where adjustment is
needed for reference, once the tops
are removed.
