Using these coffee tables is a breeze. You can place them in the middle of your living room to serve as a great spot for chatting with friends over cocktails or as a place to stack your favorite books. Before use, you'll need to do a partial assembly as mentioned in the product features. Just follow the included instructions, and you'll have your tables up and running in no time. When it comes to maintenance, simply use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the tabletop and iron base regularly to keep them looking their best. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the finish. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately to prevent stains. Also, be careful when moving the tables to avoid scratching the floor or the tables themselves.
