Using this coffee table is a breeze. Just place it in your living room where you want to make a statement. You can put decorative items, books, or your coffee cups on it. When it comes to assembly, unpack all the parts, follow the instructions that come with it, and use the provided tools. You'll have it up and running in 10 - 15 minutes. As for maintenance, wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep it looking great. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the light wood - like texture. Also, be aware that the color you see on your screen might be a bit different from the actual table due to screen settings.
