Using this coffee table is a breeze. Just place it in your living room where you want to add a touch of style and functionality. You can put your coffee mugs, magazines, or decorative items on the tabletop. Use the shelf underneath to store books, remote controls, or other small items. When it comes to assembly, follow the included instructions. It doesn't take too long and is pretty straightforward. As for maintenance, wipe the table with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep it looking its best. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the finish. Also, be careful not to place hot items directly on the tabletop; use coasters instead. Due to monitor display variations, the actual color of the table might be a bit different from what you see in the photo, but it will still look great in your space.
