Using this coffee table is a breeze. You can place your daily essentials like magazines, remote controls, or decorative items on the lower storage shelf for easy access. It's perfect for your living room, serving as a great centerpiece. When it comes to cleaning, just use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the wood finish. For long - term maintenance, keep the table away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity, as these conditions can cause the wood to warp or fade. Also, be careful not to place hot items directly on the table; use coasters to protect the surface.
