Using the Ackley End Table is a breeze. You can place it next to your sofa, bed, or anywhere you need a little extra surface and storage. Put your books, magazines, or decorative items on the glass top, and use the bottom shelf to store things like remote controls or coasters. Just make sure not to overload it, as the weight capacity is 154 lbs. When it comes to maintenance, clean the glass top with a glass cleaner and a soft cloth. For the metal frame, a damp cloth is usually enough. Be aware that the table contains nickel compounds, which may be a cancer - causing agent, so handle it with care and keep it away from children if possible.
