Using this end table is a breeze. You can place it anywhere in your living room, like in the center or next to a chair or sofa. Just put your mugs, beverages, or newspapers on the wide tabletop. There's no need to worry about assembly as it comes ready to use. As for maintenance, simply wipe it with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep it looking great. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they might damage the beautiful veneer and the finish. Also, try not to place extremely hot or wet items directly on the table to prevent any potential damage.
