Using this sofa table is a breeze. You can open the flip top when you need more space for placing items like books, cups, or decorative pieces. The open bottom shelf is perfect for storing magazines, small boxes, or other knick - knacks. To keep it in great condition, wipe it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the solid wood and veneer finish. When moving the table, lift it carefully by the legs to prevent any wobbling or damage to the bun feet. If you notice any scratches or minor damages, you can use a wood - specific polish to touch them up. Make sure to place the table on a flat surface to ensure its stability.
