Is the 10-inch height too low for a normal sofa?

It is lower than the typical 16 to 18-inch coffee table. It works best with low-profile sofas, floor cushions or a boho setup. With a standard-height sofa it sits well below knee level.

Is it solid mango wood or veneer?

It is built from solid mango wood with a natural finish, including the carved base. Expect grain and tone variation between pieces, since mango is a natural hardwood.

Does it need assembly?

No. It ships fully assembled, so you only need to unbox and place it. Check doorways and stairwells, since a 36-inch round top is wide to carry through tight spaces.

How does mango wood hold up over time?

Mango is dense and durable, but softer than oak or walnut. Use coasters and felt pads, and expect some dents or scratches with heavy daily use. Occasional oiling helps keep the finish from drying out.

How do I care for the carved base?

Dust the lattice with a soft brush or vacuum attachment, since the carved openings trap dust. Wipe the top with a slightly damp cloth and avoid standing water on the wood.

Will it fit a large living room?

A 36-inch round top seats four to five people around drinks and books, which suits medium to large living rooms. In a small room it can dominate the floor space, so measure your seating area first.
