Using this side table is a breeze. Just place it in your desired outdoor spot, like on your patio or balcony. You can put drinks, snacks, magazines, or any other small items on it. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft cloth and mild soap to wipe the wicker. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may damage the wicker finish. In case of bad weather, it's a good idea to cover the table or move it indoors to protect it from excessive moisture. Also, don't place extremely heavy objects on the table to prevent any damage to the frame. With proper care, this side table will serve you well for many years.
