Using your Homcom End Table is a breeze. First, plug in the power cord to use the charging station. You can charge your phone, tablet, or other devices right from the middle shelf. For storage, use the top and open middle shelf for items you need quick access to, like magazines or remote controls. Put things you don't use as often in the inner storage with the glass door. When opening and closing the glass door, just gently pull or push it; the magnetic closure will do the rest. As for maintenance, wipe the table with a soft, damp cloth regularly to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the painted surface. Also, make sure not to overload the table, especially the shelves. And since it has anti - slip foot pads, don't try to remove them as they help keep the table stable and protect your floors.
