Using your new Modern Farmhouse Two - Tier Coffee Table is a piece of cake. You can place decorative items, magazines, or remote controls on the top surface. The lower shelf is great for storing books or board games. When it comes to assembly, follow the instructions that come with the table and use the included tools. Make sure to place the table on a flat surface to avoid any wobbling. For maintenance, wipe it clean with a damp cloth regularly. Don't use harsh chemicals as they might damage the Gray Wash finish or the metal accents. Also, be careful not to overload the table. The top can hold up to 125 LBS and the lower shelf up to 50 LBS of static weight. The floor glides are there to protect your floors, so keep them in place. If you notice any loose parts, tighten them as soon as possible to keep the table in good condition.
