Using this side table is a breeze. You can place it next to your sofa in the living room to hold your coffee cup and remote control, or put it beside your bed to keep your lamp and book. When cleaning, just use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it gently. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the antique ebony finish. If there are any spills, clean them up right away. For long - term use, keep it away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity to prevent the wood from warping or the finish from fading.
