When it comes to assembly, since some assembly is required, carefully follow the included instructions. It might take a bit of time, but you'll have your table set up in no time. For maintenance, keep it dry. If it gets dirty, you can wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the antique finish of the wood or the black frame.
