Using your Rhodes Round Pedestal Accent Table is a breeze. Place it next to your sofa or comfy chair and use the round top to set down your coffee cup, books, or a small lamp. The storage shelf is great for keeping magazines, remote controls, or other small items organized. When it comes to assembly, follow the included instructions carefully, and you'll have your table up and running in no time. As for maintenance, remember that wood is a natural material. It's normal for each piece to have unique markings. To keep your table looking its best, give it regular attention. Always put felt pads under any items you place on the table to avoid discoloring or softening the lacquer. And stay away from using things with plastic or rubber bases on the table, as they can cause the wood to change color. With a little care, your table will stay beautiful for many years.
