Using this 25'' Espresso Farmhouse End Table is easy. You can place it in your living room, bedroom, or office. Put your books, lamps, or drinks on the tabletop, and use the storage shelf for magazines or other small items. When assembling, follow the step - by - step instructions included. Make sure all parts are tightly connected. For safety, keep in mind the load - bearing capacity. Don't put more than 132lbs on the tabletop and 77lbs on the bottom shelf. Since it has a waterproof surface, a little spill won't be a big problem. Just wipe it clean with a soft cloth. To maintain its beauty, avoid scratching the solid wood veneer. If there are any stains, use a mild cleaner. This will help your end table look great for a long time.
