Using this table set is easy. Once you've assembled it according to the instructions, place the coffee table in front of your sofa and the end tables on either side. You can use the coffee table to display decorative items, hold drinks during gatherings, or place your TV remote. The end tables are great for holding lamps, books, or a cup of coffee. When it comes to maintenance, simply wipe the tables with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep them looking their best. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may damage the cherry finish. If there are spills, clean them up immediately. Also, be careful not to place hot items directly on the table surface; use coasters instead. Keep in mind that due to the monitor display differences, the actual color of the set might vary a bit from what you see in the photo.
