Using this coffee table is a piece of cake. You can put it in your living room or bedroom. In the living room, place some magazines, a vase of flowers, or use it to serve coffee and snacks to your guests. In the bedroom, it can hold your bedside essentials like a lamp and a book. When it comes to assembly, just follow the instructions and use the provided hardware. It won't take you long. For maintenance, a simple wipe with a damp cloth is enough to keep the surface clean. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might damage the walnut ash grain finish. Also, don't put extremely heavy objects on it for a long time to ensure the pedestal base stays in good shape.
