Using your Christopher Knight Home® Althea Coffee Table is a breeze. Place it in the center of your living room, and it can hold your magazines, coffee mugs, or decorative items. When assembling, follow the included instructions carefully, and it should be ready to use in no time. To keep it looking great, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the faux - wood finish. If there are spills, wipe them up immediately. Also, try not to place extremely hot or heavy objects directly on the table to prevent any scratches or dents. With proper care, this coffee table will serve you well for years to come.
