Using this side table is a breeze. Since it's ready - to - use, just pick a spot in your indoor living room or outdoor patio and place it there. You can put drinks, snacks, or decorative items on it. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the travertine - like texture. In bad weather, it's a good idea to move the table indoors or cover it to protect it from extreme conditions. Also, be careful when moving it around to prevent any accidental bumps or scratches.
