Using your Montvale Coffee Table/Bench is easy. You can place it in your living room as a coffee table to put your drinks and snacks on, or use it as a bench for extra seating. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the surface to keep the antiqued vellum finish looking good. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the leather and iron accents. For the foam padding, if there are any spills, clean them up immediately to prevent stains. Keep the table/bench away from direct sunlight for long periods to avoid color fading of the beige finish.
