Using your Hardy Inverted Obelisk Table is a breeze. You can place it in your dining area, living room, or any space you like. It's great for family dinners, hosting friends, or just as a decorative piece. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the wire - brushed wheat finish. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately. For long - term maintenance, keep the table away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent warping or discoloration. Also, make sure to place coasters under glasses and hot pads under hot dishes to protect the surface.
