Middle Atlantic L5 Lectern Finishing Kit

Elevate and unify the look of your L5 Series lectern with the L5 Lectern Finishing Kit — a purpose-built wood-panel finishing solution designed to mirror the Sota Style and Auburn Stream thermolaminate finish of Middle Atlantic’s renowned L5 family. This kit focuses exclusively on the wood-panel finishing surfaces, providing a precise, professional veneer replacement that completes the aesthetic without requiring a full rebuild. While the complete L5 solution includes a steel frame and accessories, this kit delivers the high-quality wood panel finishes you need to refresh, repair, or customize the lectern’s appearance for classrooms, corporate spaces, and event environments.

• Coordinated aesthetics: Auburn Stream thermolaminate finish matches the L5 finishes and Sota Style language, delivering a refined, professional look with clean lines and a flat-top silhouette that complements the 43" W x 31" D x 39" H lectern footprint and its two-drawer configuration.
• Durable, low-maintenance surface: Thermolaminate panels resist scratches, scuffs, and stains, maintaining their color and texture with minimal care. The finish stands up to daily use in busy environments such as classrooms, lecture halls, and conference rooms, while remaining easy to wipe clean.
• Easy compatibility: Specifically engineered to fit the L5 Series preconfigured lectern, the wood-panel finishing kit provides a seamless match to the flat-top design and drawer arrangement. Note that the kit describes only the wood panels; the steel frame and additional accessories needed for a complete lectern setup are sold separately.
• Versatile installation and replacement: Replacing or refreshing wood surfaces is straightforward, allowing quick updates to align with branding, room redesigns, or new color schemes without changing the underlying frame or hardware.
• Professional-grade craftsmanship: The kit reflects Middle Atlantic’s commitment to durable, long-lasting finishes, with precisely cut panels, clean edges, and a color-accurate Auburn Stream veneer that coordinates with other L5 components for a cohesive, professional look.

How to install Middle Atlantic L5 Lectern Finishing Kit

To ensure a precise, professional finish that integrates perfectly with your L5 lectern, follow these steps for installation and replacement of the wood-panel finishing kit.

• Prepare the lectern: Power down any equipment and clear the surface area where the panels will be installed; ensure the lectern is stable on a level surface to prevent any movement during installation.
• Remove old panels (if applicable): If you are replacing existing wood surfaces, carefully detach surrounding hardware and slide the old panels away without damaging mounting points or internal components.
• Align the new panels: Position the Auburn Stream thermolaminate panels to match the front and top surfaces of the L5 lectern, confirming alignment with edges, drawer openings, and any cutouts for cables or accessories.
• Secure the panels: Use the lectern’s existing mounting locations or manufacturer-supplied fasteners to attach the new panels. Tighten evenly to avoid gaps while avoiding overtightening that could warp or damage the laminate.
• Check fit and finish: Inspect for flush mounting, seamless seams, and consistent color across all surfaces. Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove fingerprints; allow to dry before reassembling any hardware or components.
• Reassemble and test: Reattach drawers and any hardware, then test drawer operation and panel stability to ensure there is no interference with cables or equipment routed behind the panels.
