Using this coffee table is easy. You can place it in your living room and use it to hold your coffee cups, magazines, or decorative items. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface regularly to keep it looking its best. Avoid placing hot items directly on the table as it may damage the finish. If there are any stains, use a mild cleaner specifically designed for metal and wood. Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent the wood from fading over time.
