Using your new coffee table is a breeze. The two - way sliding drawer is great for keeping small items like remotes or coasters. You can place books or magazines in the open compartment and display decorative items on the bottom shelf. To keep it looking its best, dust it regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid placing hot items directly on the table as it may damage the finish. If there are any spills, wipe them up immediately. With proper care, your coffee table will serve you well for years to come.
