Using this coffee table is a breeze. You can place it right in the middle of your living room to serve as a centerpiece. Put your coffee mugs, magazines, or decorative items on the beveled glass top. Use the open shelf below to store extra blankets, board games, or other items you want to keep handy. When it comes to assembly, it's a simple process. Just follow the included instructions and you'll have it set up in no time. For maintenance, clean the glass top with a glass cleaner and a soft cloth to keep it shiny. Wipe the dark cherry finish with a damp cloth and dry it immediately to maintain its rich color. Avoid placing hot items directly on the glass or the wood surface to prevent damage. Check the joints and legs periodically to make sure everything is secure.
