Using your new coffee table is a piece of cake. You can place it in your living or dining room and start using the double - layer storage right away to keep your magazines, remote controls, or decorative items. When it comes to assembly, just follow the easy - to - read instructions that come with the table and use the provided hardware. It won't take you long to get it set up. For safety, always make sure the table is placed on a flat surface. If you have kids, the rounded corners will protect them from bumps. As for maintenance, since it has 8 inches of ground clearance, you can easily slide a broom or vacuum under it. And to keep the wood - grain finish looking its best, just give it a quick wipe with a clean, dry cloth regularly. That's all you need to do to enjoy your coffee table for years to come.
