Using your new coffee table is a breeze. To access the storage under the lift - top, simply grab the edge of the top and gently lift it up. You can put things like remote controls, magazines, or small blankets in there. For the storage drawer, just pull it out smoothly using the handle, and push it back in when you're done. When it comes to the open bottom shelf, you can place decorative items like vases or photo frames on it, or stack books for easy access. As for maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the high - gloss white finish and chrome frame regularly to keep them looking shiny. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they may damage the surface. If there are any spills, clean them up right away. During assembly, make sure to follow the instructions carefully. Use the tools provided and tighten all the screws properly. If you have any questions during the process, don't hesitate to contact customer service.
