Using your Era coffee table is easy. You can place it in your living room and use it to display decorative items, put your coffee mugs or books on it. Just make sure not to overload it as its weight capacity is 100 lbs. When it comes to assembly, you'll need to follow the instructions carefully. Since each piece of the table is unique due to the natural variations in the Acacia wood, you're getting a truly special item. To keep your table looking great, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the black, distressed finish. And remember, this table is for indoor use only, so don't place it outside.
