Using this end table is a breeze. You can place it next to your sofa, chair, or in any corner of your living room. The spacious tabletop is perfect for putting your coffee cups, books, or decorative items. To access the drawer, just gently pull on the antique bronze drop handles, and the ball - bearing side glides will ensure a smooth opening. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the tabletop and metal legs regularly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might scratch the surface. For the wooden parts, you can apply a mild wood polish every few months to keep the rustic oak looking great. Remember, this end table requires simple assembly. Follow the instructions carefully, and you'll have it set up in no time. Also, this listing only includes the end table, so don't expect the cocktail table to come with it.
