Using this side table is a breeze. You can put your electronics, like a TV remote or small speakers, in the open cubby at the top. For more private storage, use the bottom compartment with the soft - close door. When assembling, just follow the step - by - step instructions that come with the table. As for maintenance, simply wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth regularly. Be careful not to use abrasive cleaners as they might damage the finish. And due to the current COVID - 19 situation, expect some delays in receiving your product as shipping is affected by state mandates.
