Using your 31.5 - inch Oak Farmhouse Coffee Table is easy. To access the hidden storage, simply lift the top on either side. You can put magazines, notebooks, toys, or other essentials inside to keep your living room tidy. When using the tabletop, place items gently to avoid scratches. For maintenance, wipe it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the wood - grain finish. If there are spills, clean them up right away. Place the table away from direct sunlight to prevent the color from fading. With proper care, your coffee table will last for a long time and continue to enhance your living space.
