Using this coffee table is a breeze. Just place it in your desired spot in the living room or office. You can put decorative items, magazines, or your coffee cups on the tempered glass top. When assembling, follow the detailed instruction manual in the package. It should take you only 10 - 15 minutes. For safety, keep in mind that although the glass has rounded edges, be careful around it, especially if there are children or pets. To maintain this table, clean the glass top with a glass cleaner regularly to keep it looking clear. Wipe the MDF legs with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners on either the glass or the MDF to prevent scratches.
