You can use this side table or stool in your living room, bedroom, or even on your patio. As a side table, place a lamp, a book, or a cup of coffee on it. As a stool, it's perfect for extra seating. When it comes to maintenance, keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent the wood from fading. Wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth regularly. If it gets dirty, use a mild wood cleaner. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
