Using your new end table is easy. First, assemble it following the included instructions as full assembly is required. Place it in your living room, bedroom, or any other space where you need a little extra surface. You can put a lamp, a book, or a cup of coffee on the weathered oak - finished top. When it comes to maintenance, simply wipe the wooden top with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep it looking great. For the chrome - finished metal parts, you can use a mild metal cleaner if needed. Please note that this product is subject to Prop65 regulations. Also, be careful when moving the table as it has caster legs. And make sure to place it on a flat surface to prevent it from tipping over.
