Using this coffee table is a breeze. You can place books, decorative trays, or artistic pieces on the faux marble top to show them off. It's also perfect for serving refreshments when you have guests. To assemble, just follow the step - by - step instructions that come with it. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the faux marble top to keep it looking clean. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might damage the surface. The gold - finished metal base is sturdy, but try not to place heavy or sharp objects on it to prevent scratches. And remember, this table has a white marble - patterned tabletop and is not available in beige.
