Using this end table is a breeze. You can place it beside your sofa, bed, or armchair to hold a lamp, a book, or a cup of coffee. When it comes to cleaning, just use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface regularly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might damage the high gloss finish. Also, keep the table away from direct sunlight to prevent the color from fading. As it contains formaldehyde and is subject to Prop65, handle it with care and follow the safety instructions on the warning label. This solid wood table is durable, but try not to put excessive weight on it to maintain its shape and structure.
