This side table is easy to use. Just place it where you need it, like next to your sofa or bed, and it's ready to hold your books, drinks, or other small items. Since it doesn't come with an anti - tip kit, make sure to put it on a flat and stable surface to prevent it from tipping over. To keep it looking great, wipe it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the hand - rubbed black finish. Be aware that the product has a Prop 65 warning due to wood dust, which may cause cancer. So, keep it in a well - ventilated area and clean up any dust carefully.
