Using this coffee table is easy. You can place it in your living room and use it to hold your coffee cups, magazines, or decorative items. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the antique black finish. If there are spills, clean them up promptly to prevent stains. Keep the table away from direct sunlight for long periods to avoid color fading. Also, make sure to place it on a flat surface to prevent it from wobbling.
