Using your new coffee table is a breeze. You can place it in the center of your living room as a focal point. Put your drinks, books, and decorative items on the tabletop. When it comes to assembly, just follow the clear instructions that come with the table and use the included tools. It should take you only 10 - 15 minutes to get it set up. For maintenance, wipe the MDF tabletop with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the surface. The metal legs are sturdy, but you should check the connections occasionally to make sure they're tight. Also, keep in mind that the actual color of the table may vary slightly from what you see on your screen.
