Using this Artless U4 table is a breeze. You can place it in a small living room, beside your bed, or anywhere you need a bit of extra surface space. Just make sure the surface where you place it is flat to avoid any wobbling. As for maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it regularly to keep its hand - rubbed oil finish looking great. Avoid placing hot items directly on the table, as it may damage the wood. And remember, since this table is made to order, there are no cancellations or returns, so be sure about your purchase.
