Using this coffee table is a breeze. Just place it in front of your sofa, and you're all set to enjoy its unique look and functionality. When it comes to maintenance, simply wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth to keep the matte black finish looking great. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the surface. Also, try not to place extremely hot items directly on the table; use coasters to protect it. With proper care, this coffee table will be a long - lasting addition to your living space.
