Using your new Mirasol hexagon C table is a breeze. You can place it in your living room and use the white surface to display small treasures or put your tea cup on. It can hold up to 30 lbs, so you can put various light - weight items on it. As for maintenance, make sure to dust it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using oiled or treated cloths on the lacquered finish. If there are fingerprints or smudges, you can wipe it with a damp (not wet) cloth and then immediately dry it with a dry cloth. For stubborn spots, use a soft cloth with a solution of water and mild soap, and always dry it thoroughly. To protect the table, use adhesive felt pads, coasters, and placemats. Keep in mind that the table contains nickel compounds which may be related to cancer, so handle it with care. And don't worry about assembly, as it's already ready to use right out of the box.
