Using this Gideon Shagreen Console Table is a breeze. You can place it in your hallway, living room, or entryway to display decorative items or use it as a surface to place keys and mail. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the wood and leather. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately. For long - term maintenance, keep the table away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity to prevent the finish from fading or the wood from warping.
