Using your Christopher Knight Home® Stylish Modern Glass Coffee Table with Storage Shelf is a breeze. You can place it in your living room or lounge area right after assembly. On the spacious top surface, you can put decorative items like vases, photo frames, or use it to serve drinks and snacks to your guests. The lower shelf is perfect for keeping books, magazines, or your TV remote controls organized. When it comes to assembly, follow the instructions carefully as some assembly is required. As for maintenance, clean the glass surface regularly with a glass cleaner and a soft cloth to keep it shiny. Remember, the glass color can change depending on the light in the room, so don't be surprised if it looks different at times. Also, be careful not to place very heavy or sharp objects directly on the glass to avoid any damage.
