Using the Carlyn table set is a breeze. The console table can be placed in your hallway to display decorative items or in your living room to hold a TV. The end tables are great for placing lamps, books, or drinks beside your sofa. Since the tables are fully assembled, you can start using them right away. When it comes to maintenance, just wipe them clean with a soft cloth. Be aware that the set contains formaldehyde as indicated by PROP65, so make sure to keep the area well - ventilated. Also, avoid placing hot items directly on the tabletop to prevent damage to the Capiz shell surface. With proper care, this table set will serve you well for years.
