Using this coffee table is a breeze. Just place it in your desired spot in the living room or lounge area right out of the box since no assembly is needed. You can put your coffee mugs, books, or decorative items on it. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the faux Mars pattern. Also, don't place extremely hot items directly on the table; use coasters to protect the surface. With proper care, this table will serve you well for a long time.
