Is the glass top permanently attached?
The glass top is designed to sit securely on the steel frame, typically supported by discreet adhesive or suction bumpers for stability.
How should I clean the intricate steel base?
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe between the rods to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive sponges.

Troubleshooting
Fingerprints and smudges on steel rods
Use a dry microfiber cloth to buff the surface; avoid water or harsh chemicals.
Glass top sliding slightly
Ensure the clear non-slip bumpers provided with the table are correctly positioned between the glass and the steel frame.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is minimal as the table comes largely pre-assembled with the glass top resting securely on the rod structure. Compatibility-wise, its neutral silver tone makes it highly versatile, pairing well with modern, minimalist, or eclectic decor. For care, use a soft, non-abrasive microfiber cloth to wipe the steel rods to avoid scratching the mirror-polished surface. For the glass top, a standard glass cleaner will suffice, but take care not to spray cleaner directly onto the steel rods to prevent streaking or potential chemical reaction with the finish.
