Using your Blake coffee table is easy. Just place it in your living room where you'd like to have a stylish surface for drinks, books, or decor. Since assembly is required, follow the instructions carefully to put it together correctly. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the travertine top regularly to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as the top isn't stain - resistant. Don't place extremely hot items directly on the table as it may damage the surface. Also, remember this table is for indoor use only, so don't take it outside. With proper care, your Blake coffee table will serve you well for a long time.
