Using your new industrial cocktail table is a breeze. You can place it in the center of your living room and use the marble top to set out drinks, snacks, or decorative items during gatherings. The lower shelf is great for storing magazines, books, or board games. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the marble top. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the surface. For the weathered wood base, a dry cloth is usually enough to remove dust. If there are stains on the wood, you can use a mild wood cleaner. As for assembly, it's pretty straightforward with the included instructions. Just take your time and ensure all parts are securely connected. Keep in mind that this table is designed for indoor use only. Don't place heavy or sharp objects directly on the marble to prevent scratches or cracks.
