Using this coffee table is a breeze. You can place it in your living room, family room, or lounge. Use the spacious surface to serve drinks to your guests or keep your TV remotes handy. When it comes to maintenance, simply dust it regularly with a soft cloth to keep the water hyacinth fibers looking good. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the brown color. Also, try not to spill liquids on it. If a spill occurs, wipe it up immediately to prevent damage to the hyacinth and metal parts. This coffee table is built to last, but with proper care, it will look great for years to come.
