Using your Durand Coffee Table is a breeze. You can place it in the center of your living room and use it to hold drinks, books, or decorative items. To clean it, simply use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the dark brown elm finish. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately to prevent staining. For long - term maintenance, you can occasionally apply a wood polish to keep the table looking its best. Always place hot items on coasters to avoid heat damage to the tabletop.
