Using your Christopher Knight Home® Apollos 12 Lace Cut Iron Side Table is a breeze. Since it doesn't require assembly, you can just place it in your desired spot right out of the box. Indoors, it's great next to a cozy armchair in your living room or bedroom. Outdoors, it can be placed beside a lounge chair on your patio or deck. When using it, be careful not to place extremely heavy objects on it as although it's sturdy, there's a limit to its weight - bearing capacity. Avoid dragging sharp objects across the tabletop to prevent scratches. For maintenance, you can wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep it clean. If it gets dirty, use a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry it immediately to prevent rusting, especially if you're using it outdoors.
