Using this coffee table is easy. You can place your coffee cups, books, or decorative items on the solid wood top. The two drawers are great for storing small items like remote controls or coasters, and the shelf is perfect for displaying plants or photo frames. When it comes to assembly, make sure to follow the instructions carefully as full assembly is needed. For maintenance, simply wipe the wood top with a soft, damp cloth and the metal base with a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the surface. This coffee table is for home use only, not for commercial settings. Enjoy your new, stylish addition to the living room!
