Using these Four Hands nesting coffee tables is easy. You can place the larger table in the center of your living - room and nest the smaller one inside it when not in use, or move it out to create extra surface area when needed. As for care, keep the tables away from direct sunlight to prevent the antique brass finish from fading and the faux shagreen from discoloring. Clean the tabletop with a soft, dry cloth regularly to maintain its texture. If there are any stains, use a mild soap and water solution, then dry it immediately. Remember, since these tables are oversized and non - returnable, handle them with care to avoid any damages. If you notice any issues like scratches or dents, contact us right away, and we'll arrange for a replacement.
