Using your Christopher Knight Home® white aluminum C - shaped outdoor end table is a breeze. Place it next to your outdoor seating, like a chair or a lounge. It's great for holding drinks, snacks, or small items while you relax outside. When it comes to assembly, follow the instructions carefully. You'll need to put it together, but it's designed for easy setup. As for maintenance, clean it regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface. Since it's made for outdoor use, it can withstand normal weather conditions, but if there are extreme weather events like heavy storms or snow, it's a good idea to cover it or store it indoors to keep it in good shape. Also, make sure to check the finish periodically. If you notice any signs of wear, you can choose a matching finish from the available options to touch it up.
