Using this table is a breeze. Just assemble it according to the instructions. For indoor use, place it in your living room or dining area. Outdoors, it's great on a patio or deck. When using, avoid placing extremely hot items directly on the glass surface to prevent damage. To clean, use a mild glass cleaner for the glass top and a damp cloth for the bronze - coated base. Regularly check the protective plastic floor glides and replace them if they're worn out. Keep the table in a dry place to prevent rusting of the steel base. If you're not using it for a long time, cover it to protect it from dust and dirt.
