Using this coffee table is a breeze. You can place it in your living room as a coffee table to hold your cups, magazines, or snacks. Or, put it beside your sofa as a side table or at the end of a couch as an end table. When it comes to cleaning, just use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off dust regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they might damage the smoky - colored finish. Also, try to keep it away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent the color from fading. If there are any spills, clean them up right away to avoid stains. With proper care, this table will stay beautiful and functional for a long time.
