Using your new seahorse - inspired coffee table is a breeze. You can place decorative items, books, or drinks on the glass top. It's great for entertaining guests or just relaxing at home. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the glass top regularly to keep it looking clear and shiny. For the cast aluminum parts, you can use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the gold - leaf finish. Keep the table away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent the color from fading. Also, make sure not to place extremely hot objects directly on the glass top to avoid cracking. With proper care, this coffee table will be a beautiful and functional part of your living space for years to come.
