Using your Flynn side table is easy. Just place it where you need it, like next to a sofa or bed. You can put your books, drinks, or decorative items on it. Remember, this table has a Prop 65 warning because of wood dust, which can cause cancer. So, when cleaning, use a damp cloth to avoid stirring up dust. To keep it looking its best, don't place hot items directly on the surface as it may damage the clear coat finish. Also, since it doesn't have an anti - tip kit, make sure it's placed on a stable surface to prevent it from tipping over.
