Using this extendable coffee table is a breeze. To access the hidden storage compartments, simply slide the top open. You can put things like magazines, remote controls, or small books inside. The two drawers are great for storing smaller items such as coasters or stationery. When you have guests over or need more space, just pull the tabletop to extend it up to 60 inches. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the high - gloss finish regularly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might scratch the surface. Also, don't place extremely hot or sharp objects directly on the table to prevent damage. If you notice any issues with the sliding rails, give them a light lubrication with a suitable product to keep them moving smoothly.
