Using your Athens Contemporary Wood Shelf Side Table is a breeze. You can place it next to your sofa or bed. Put your books, magazines, or remote controls on the convenient shelf below the tabletop. The tabletop is great for setting up a lamp, a cup of coffee, or a small decorative item. When it comes to assembly, just follow the instructions that come with the parts. It might take a bit of time, but you'll have it set up in no time. As for maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the tabletop and the shelf regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the white wood grain finish. Also, be aware that the actual color of the table might look a bit different from the photo on your screen because of monitor settings. If you need to move the table, lift it carefully by holding the legs to prevent any damage.
