Using this table set is super easy. Just assemble it following the included instructions (it only needs minor assembly). Place the table in your living area where you want to relax or have a coffee. When you're not using the stools, simply tuck them under the table to save space. As for maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the glass top and the wood regularly to keep them clean. For the faux leather on the stools, you can use a mild leather cleaner. Be careful not to place hot items directly on the glass or scratch the wood surface. Also, keep in mind that the color might look a bit different from the photo on your monitor because of the monitor settings.
