Using this cocktail table is easy. First, assemble it according to the included instructions. Once it's set up, you can use the pneumatic adjustment lever under the top to change the table's height to your desired level. To use the swivel top, simply give it a gentle turn. When moving the table, be careful not to drag it on the floor; instead, lift it to avoid damaging the plastic ring on the base. For maintenance, wipe the pine wood top with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep it clean. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately to prevent staining. The chrome base can be wiped with a damp cloth and then dried to maintain its shine. Make sure to keep the table away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture to prevent damage to the wood and the chrome finish.
