Using your new 3 - piece table set is a breeze. Just place the coffee table in the center of your living room and the end tables on either side of your sofa. For assembly, follow the included instructions carefully. It's not too difficult and you'll have your set up in no time. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surfaces regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the Dark Cherry Finish. If there are any spills, clean them up right away. Placemats and coasters are great to use to protect the tables from scratches and stains. Keep the tables away from direct sunlight for long periods as it could fade the color. With these simple steps, your table set will look great for years to come.
