Using your Vikram Side Table is a breeze. You can place it next to your sofa, bed, or armchair to keep your essentials like books, drinks, or a lamp within easy reach. When it comes to cleaning, just use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the clear coat flat finish. Since this table doesn't come with an anti - tip kit, make sure to place it on a stable surface. Also, be aware of the Prop 65 warning related to wood dust. If you're sanding or doing any kind of work on the table that might generate dust, take proper safety precautions like wearing a mask. Keep it away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent the teak from fading.
