Using your Peyton Console Table is easy. You can put decorative items on the open bottom shelf to show them off. The three drawers are great for storing small things like keys, remote controls, or stationery. When it comes to maintenance, remember to dust it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Don't use oiled or treated cloths on the lacquered parts. If there are fingerprints or smudges, you can wipe the surface with a damp (but not wet) cloth and then dry it right away. For stubborn spots, use a soft cloth and a bit of water and mild soap, and then make sure to dry it completely. Also, use adhesive felt pads, coasters, and placemats to keep your table in good condition. Be aware that the product has wood dust which is a Prop 65 chemical linked to cancer, so handle it with care.
