Using these end tables is a breeze. Simply place them next to your favorite chair or sofa. The C - shape base is designed to fit neatly around the legs of your seating, so you can easily reach your drinks, books, or laptop. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the black finish regularly to keep it looking shiny. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the surface. Also, try not to place extremely heavy objects on the tables, as although the iron frame is durable, overloading could cause damage. Keep them in a dry environment to prevent rusting of the iron frame. That's all you need to know to enjoy these stylish and practical end tables for a long time.
