Using this console table is a breeze. You can place it in your entryway to keep keys and small items in the drawer, or in your living room as a side table for your drinks. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the oak finish. If there are any spills, clean them up right away. Keep the table away from direct sunlight to prevent the wood from drying out and cracking. Also, don't place heavy objects on the table for a long time to maintain its shape.
