Using these side tables is a breeze. Just place them on your patio where you need them. You can put drinks, snacks, or decorative items on them. Since they're lightweight, you can move them around easily for different outdoor set - ups. When not in use, take advantage of the nestable design to store them compactly. As for maintenance, wipe them down with a damp cloth regularly to keep them clean. Avoid leaving them in standing water for long periods as they're made of iron and might rust. Check the weight capacity before placing heavy items on them, 12 lbs for the small table and 15 lbs for the large one, to ensure their longevity.
