This Athena accent table is very versatile. You can place it indoors in your living room to hold a lamp or some decorative items, or outdoors on your patio for drinks. When using it, make sure not to exceed the 10 - lb weight capacity to avoid any damage. As it contains ceramic fibers which can be a cancer risk, try to keep it in a well - ventilated area. For maintenance, simply wipe it with a damp cloth regularly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the acrylic finish. Keep it away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight to maintain its color and integrity.
