Using your new farmhouse coffee table is a breeze. Place it in your living room where you want it, and you're ready to start using it. You can put your drinks, snacks, or a decorative centerpiece on the top surface. The lower shelf is great for storing books, magazines, or small decorative items. Just make sure not to exceed the weight limits - the top can hold up to 300 lbs and the lower shelf up to 110 lbs. When it comes to assembly, it should take you 30 minutes or less. Follow the included instructions carefully. For maintenance, simply wipe the table clean with a dry cloth. This will keep it looking great for years. Also, the fixed floor glides protect your indoor floors, so you don't have to worry about scratches. And if you have our matching end table, pair them together for a coordinated look.
