Using your Gideon Shagreen Side Table is a breeze. You can place it next to your sofa, bed, or armchair to hold items like lamps, books, or drinks. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the wood and leather. If there are any spills, clean them up right away. Place the table on a flat surface to prevent it from wobbling. For long - term use, keep it away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its color and quality.
