Using this Christopher Knight Home coffee table is a breeze. You can place your daily items like coffee mugs, books, or remote controls on the tabletop. Use the glass shelf below to store small decorative items, magazines, or coasters. When it comes to cleaning, simply use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the glass surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the glass. For maintenance, check the glass regularly for any signs of damage. If you notice any chips or cracks, it's best to stop using the table and contact the manufacturer. Also, make sure to place the table on a flat and stable surface to prevent it from wobbling and to ensure its long - term stability.
