Using your Cynthia console table is easy. Just assemble it following the included instructions. You can place it in the hallway to greet guests or in the living room to display decor. When using it, be careful not to put too much weight on it as its weight capacity is 150 pounds. For maintenance, remember that wood is a natural material, so it may have some natural color and grain variations. Each piece of this furniture is unique and might look a bit different from the pictures. To keep the lacquer finish in good condition, always use felt pads under items you place on the table. Avoid using items with plastic or rubber bases directly on the wood as they can cause discoloration. With regular attention and these simple steps, your console table will stay beautiful for years.
