Using this Christopher Knight Home side table is a breeze. Just place it next to your outdoor sofa or chair. You can put drinks, snacks, or decorative items on its glass top. When it comes to assembly, you'll need to do a bit of it as stated in the product details. Make sure to follow the instructions carefully. For maintenance, clean the tempered glass top with a mild glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Wipe down the aluminum frame with a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly to prevent rust. Avoid placing extremely hot items directly on the glass to prevent damage. Also, if there's a storm or bad weather, it's a good idea to either bring the table inside or cover it to keep it in good condition.
