Step-By-Step

1. Unlock one of the the right double doors to the Porch by lifting up on the door handle and rotating the lock clockwise.

2. To open the left double door, find the two latches on the surface where the two doors meet. Pull the latch at the top of the door down and the latch at the bottom of the door up.

3. Now that both sides of the double doors are unlocked, open each door.

4. Push the table through the door.

5. Lift the table a few inches off the floor if the wheels are sticky to prevent scuff marks.

6. Place table according to the layout.

7. To lock the left door, close the left door tightly into the frame and push the latch at the top of the door up and the latch at the bottom of the door down.

8. Make sure the latches lay flat. If they don't adjust the door position in the door frame and try again.

9. Close the right door, lift the hand up, and turn the lock counterclockwise.

10. Immediately scrub the black scuff marks with a wet towel or mop if any are made.

What does “done right” look like?

Tables are rolled or lifted carefully to avoid creating scuff marks.

Common problems or mistakes?

Dragging the table across the Porch can create black scuff marks.
