Using this side table is a breeze. Just place it wherever you'd like in your outdoor space, like your patio or garden. It's fully assembled, so you can start using it right away. When it comes to maintenance, a simple wipe - down with a damp cloth is usually enough to keep it clean. However, in case of stubborn stains, you can use a mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might scratch the smooth surface of the lightweight concrete. Also, while it's durable, try not to place extremely heavy objects on it continuously to ensure its long - term stability. If you live in an area with harsh winters, it's a good idea to store the table indoors to prevent any potential damage from freezing temperatures.
