Using your Christopher Knight Home side table is a breeze. You can place it indoors next to your sofa or outdoors on your patio or balcony. It's great for holding drinks, books, or small decorative items. When using it outdoors, make sure to place it on a flat surface to avoid tipping. If you live in an area with harsh weather, consider moving the table indoors during extreme conditions. To keep your table looking great, clean it regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might damage the hand - painted finish. With proper care, this side table will serve you well for years to come.
