Using this coffee table is a breeze. You can place it in your living room, office, or any small space. Put your coffee cups, books, or remote controls on its surface. When you receive the table, it comes with instructions and tools for assembly. Just follow the steps, and you'll have it set up in 10 - 15 minutes. As for color, remember that it may look a bit different from the website because of screen settings. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the MDF material. Also, don't place extremely hot or sharp objects directly on the table to prevent scratches or burns.
