Once assembled and secured, your Tangkula TV Stand is ready for use.

• Placement: Position the TV stand in your desired location, ensuring it is on a stable, level surface and secured to the wall with the anti-toppling kits.

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your TV stand.

• Sunlight: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration.
• Heat: Do not place hot items directly on the surface. Use coasters or protective pads.
