Cliffwood Black Cocktail Table

Oval tables are a strategic choice for smaller layouts or homes with high traffic. Unlike rectangular tables, the rounded edges of this oval design eliminate sharp corners, making it safer for children and pets. Architecturally, the lack of hard angles helps "soften" a room and improves the flow of movement, preventing the space from feeling cramped or obstructed.

This item is designed for customer assembly and includes a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to ensure a sturdy setup. While our full-service delivery team handles assembly for many large items, this specific cocktail table is streamlined for home assembly. Most shoppers find that with basic tools and the provided instructions, the metal-and-marble structure can be efficiently put together to create a high-end, contemporary centerpiece.

To achieve a balanced look, we recommend following the "two-thirds rule": your cocktail table should be approximately two-thirds the length of your sofa. With a length of 42 inches, this table is an ideal proportional match for sofas ranging from 60 to 70 inches. Additionally, its 23-inch height is designed to sit comfortably near standard seat heights, allowing for easy access to drinks or remotes without straining.

The tiered display shelves offer a dual-purpose advantage for both organization and styling. Based on our interior design expertise, we suggest using the spacious top surface for daily essentials, while utilizing the lower shelves to showcase decorative accents, such as coffee table books or small sculptures. This vertical storage approach keeps the main tabletop clutter-free while adding visual depth to your living room.

To preserve the sleek, contemporary finish of your table, our care experts recommend regular dusting with a soft, lint-free cloth. For spills, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water; avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads, as these can dull the faux marble surface or scratch the black metal finish. Using coasters is still recommended to provide an extra layer of protection against heat and prolonged moisture.

Absolutely. While natural marble is beautiful, it is highly porous and prone to staining from coffee or wine. This table features faux marble surfaces, which provide the sophisticated look of stone with significantly higher resistance to moisture and spills. Paired with a sturdy metal frame, this construction offers a durable, low-maintenance solution for busy households or those who frequently entertain.
