Using this coffee table is a breeze. Just place it in your living room where you usually have tea. It's great for putting your tea set, snacks, or even a book. When it comes to assembly, follow the instructions included in the package. With the tools provided, you can have it up and running in 10 - 15 minutes. As for maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the wood and rattan. Remember, the color on your screen might be a bit different from the actual table due to screen settings. So, don't be surprised if there are slight variations.
