Using your Elk Home Aperio Console Table is a breeze. You can place it in your hallway to set your keys, mail, or a small decorative item like a vase of flowers. In the living room, it can hold a lamp or some books. When cleaning, simply use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the black finish. If there are any spills, clean them up right away to prevent stains. For long - term storage, make sure to keep the table in a dry place to avoid rusting. And remember, the table comes with a 1 - year limited warranty, so if you have any issues, reach out to the manufacturer.
