Using your Yokosuka Side Table is easy. You can place it next to your sofa to hold a lamp, drinks, or books. It also works well beside your bed as a nightstand. When moving the table, lift it gently to avoid scratching the floor. Since it's made of mahogany, avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods as this can fade the hand - rubbed black finish. To clean the table, use a soft, dry cloth. Wipe it regularly to keep it looking great. Be aware that the table has a Prop 65 warning because of wood dust, so if you notice any loose wood particles, clean them up carefully.
