Using this side table is a breeze. Simply place it wherever you need extra surface space in your living room, bedroom, or hallway. It's great for holding a lamp, a book, or a cup of coffee. When it comes to assembly, make sure to follow the instructions carefully as full assembly is required. Once assembled, you can start using it right away. To keep it in good condition, avoid placing hot or wet items directly on the walnut veneer top. Use coasters and placemats to protect the surface. Wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth regularly. If there are any stains, you can use a mild wood cleaner. The plastic glides at the bottom protect your floors, so be careful not to damage them. With proper care, this side table will serve you well for a long time.
