Using this end table is a breeze. Just place it in your desired seating area, like next to a sofa or a chair. It's great for holding your coffee cup, a book, or some small decorative items. When it comes to cleaning, you can use a mild soap and a soft cloth to wipe the concrete top and the metal frame. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might scratch the surface. Also, try not to place extremely hot items directly on the table to prevent any potential damage. If you notice any spills, clean them up right away to keep the table stain - free. With proper care, this table will look great in your room for a long time.
