Using your new cocktail table is a breeze. You can place it right in the middle of your living room to serve as a centerpiece. Put your coffee cups, snacks, or a vase of flowers on the top surface. The lower shelf is great for storing things like magazines, board games, or extra throw pillows. When it comes to assembly, follow the instructions carefully. Some parts might need to be screwed together, so make sure you have the right tools. As for maintenance, keep the table away from direct sunlight to prevent the dark oak finish from fading. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth regularly to remove dust. If there are any spills, clean them up right away with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the wood. With proper care, your cocktail table will look great for years to come.
