Using this coffee table is a breeze. Place your coffee cups, magazines, or decorative items on the spacious tabletop. You can show off your favorite reads or trinkets on the open shelf. For things you want to keep out of sight, use the drawer. When it comes to maintenance, simply wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the dark walnut finish. Also, don't place extremely hot or wet items directly on the table to prevent any marks or warping. With proper care, this coffee table will serve you well for years.
