Using your Lark coffee table is a breeze. You can place it in your living room and use it to hold your drinks, books, or decorative items. Since it has a weight capacity of 440 lbs, you don't have to worry about overloading it. However, due to the natural marble top, be gentle when placing heavy objects to avoid chipping. As for maintenance, because the table is stain - resistant, a simple wipe with a soft, damp cloth will usually do the trick. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the marble or the wood finish. The kiln - dried wood makes the table durable, but it's still a good idea to keep it away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity changes to prevent any long - term damage. And remember, each table has unique vein markings in the marble, so cherish its one - of - a - kind beauty.
