Using this nightstand is a breeze. First, assemble it according to the included instructions. Once it's set up in your bedroom, you can start using the two drawers to store things like your glasses, a book, or small personal items. Place the nightstand next to your bed for easy access. When it comes to maintenance, simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep it looking nice. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the faux - wood finish. Also, make sure not to overload the drawers or the shelf, as the weight capacity is 25 lbs. If you notice any loose parts, tighten them up right away to ensure the nightstand stays stable.
