Using your Monica modern coffee table is a breeze. You can place decorative items, books, or drinks on the sintered stone top. If you have the matching end - table, slide it over the coffee table for a cool layered effect. When it comes to assembly, just follow the instructions included with the hardware. It doesn't take much time or effort. As for maintenance, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the sintered stone top and stainless - steel base. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might scratch the surface. Also, try not to place extremely hot items directly on the tabletop to prevent damage. With proper care, your Monica coffee table will look great for years to come.
