Using this end table is a breeze. Simply place it in your living room, near a sofa or chair, and it's ready to hold your books, drinks, or decorative items. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the two - tone finish. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately. To maintain its stability, make sure the pedestal base is on a flat surface. Over time, you can give it a light polish to keep the wood looking its best. Also, remember to select the right color, size, and other options as per your preferences when ordering.
