Using this coffee table is a breeze. Just place it in your living room where you want to gather with friends and family. You can put drinks, snacks, magazines, or decorative items on the oak top. Since it's fully assembled, you don't have to worry about putting it together. When it comes to maintenance, for the oak top, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust regularly. If there are spills, clean them up right away with a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly to prevent water damage. The grey concrete base is quite sturdy, but avoid hitting it with hard objects to prevent chips or cracks. This table is designed for home use, so don't use it in a commercial setting. And remember, the product you get will match the options you choose on the page, so pick the right color, size, and other details carefully.
