Using your new 24 - inch Rustic Farmhouse Side Table is a breeze. You can place it next to your sofa to hold your coffee cup and a book, or put it beside your bed for your bedside essentials. To use the lower shelf, simply place your items like magazines or small decor pieces on it. As for maintenance, wipe the table regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the Barnwood finish and the iron accents. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately. Store the table in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping or the iron from rusting. With proper care, your side table will last for a long time and continue to enhance your home decor.
