Using this side table is a breeze. You can place it indoors next to your sofa or outdoors beside your Adirondack chairs. It's great for holding drinks, snacks, or your favorite book. When it comes to assembly, it only takes about 30 minutes or less. Just follow the included instructions. For maintenance, simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Keep in mind that while it can hold up to 75 lbs of static weight overall and the shelf can handle up to 25 lbs, don't overload it to ensure its longevity. And even though it's weather-resistant, if there are extreme weather conditions like heavy storms or long - term freezing, it's a good idea to store it indoors or cover it to protect it.
