Using the Layton Lodge Console Table is a breeze. You can place it in your hallway to greet guests with its rustic elegance or in your living room to display decorative items. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface gently. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the natural finish. If there are stains, a mild soap and water solution can be used, but make sure to dry the table thoroughly afterward. For long - term maintenance, keep the table away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent the wood from warping and the finish from fading.
