Using your 21 - inch rustic end table is a breeze. First, find a suitable spot in your living room, bedroom, or entryway. If you're using it in the living room, place snacks and drinks on the top for easy access while you relax. For the bedroom, it can hold a lamp for reading at night and frames to add a personal touch. When using the drawer, just give it a gentle pull to store small items like keys, remote controls, or jewelry. There's no need to assemble the table, so you can start using it right away. As for maintenance, simply dust the table regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep the wood and brass looking great. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the finish. Remember, because of the natural materials, each table is unique, and some variations in color and texture are normal. Also, since it's subject to Prop65 regulations, keep it in a non - commercial setting.
