Using this side table is a breeze. You can place it indoors next to your sofa or outdoors on your patio. Just pick a spot that fits your seating arrangement. For snacks and drinks, simply set them on the round tabletop. Since it doesn't require assembly, you can start using it right away. When it comes to maintenance, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth every once in a while to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the brushed paint finish. Also, don't place extremely heavy items on it, even though it's sturdy, to ensure its long - term durability.
