Using your new Farmhouse TV Stand is a breeze. First, find a flat and stable surface in your chosen room, like the living room or bedroom. Make sure there's enough space around it for easy access. You can place your TV on the top shelf, but remember it has a weight limit of 200 lbs, so don't overload it. For the open storage compartments, you can neatly arrange your media components such as DVD players, gaming consoles, or display your favorite mementos. Each compartment can support up to 30 lbs. The cable management cutout is there to help you keep all the cords organized. Just thread the cords through it to avoid a messy look. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the Gray Wash Oak Finish. If there are any spills, clean them up right away. And remember, the fixed plastic floor glides are there to protect your hard flooring, so be careful not to move the stand too roughly. Also, during assembly, follow the step-by-step illustrated instructions carefully. It should take less than an hour to put together, but if you run into any problems, don't hesitate to contact our customer support.
