This side table is super easy to use. You can place it beside your sofa or bed to store small items like magazines, remote controls, or stationery in the rattan drawers. Just open the drawers gently and put your things inside. When it comes to weight, make sure not to put items that exceed 45 in weight on it to avoid any damage. As for maintenance, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth regularly. If there are stains, you can use a mild soap and water solution, but remember to dry it thoroughly to prevent the pine wood from warping. Since it's made in China with high - quality materials, it's built to last with proper care.
