Using this console table is a breeze. You can place it in your hallway, living room, or entryway to display decorative items like vases, photo frames, or candles. For the open bottom shelf, it's great for storing magazines, books, or small boxes. When it comes to cleaning, just use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface regularly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might damage the rustic brown finish. Also, make sure to place the table on a flat surface to prevent it from wobbling. If you notice any loose parts, tighten them gently. With proper care, this console table will serve you well for a long time.
