Using this end table is a breeze. You can place your favorite potted plants on the top to show them off, or use the lower shelf to display decorative items or store small things like magazines. When it comes to maintenance, just wipe it with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep it looking great. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the unique color of the sheesham wood. Also, don't put heavy objects on it that exceed its weight - bearing capacity to prevent any damage.
