Using this side table is a breeze. You can place it indoors in your living room or outdoors in your entertaining area. When it's not in use, make sure to store it indoors or cover it well to protect it from the elements. If there are any wooden parts, don't let them sit in water. To keep it looking great, dust it regularly with a small brush or your vacuum cleaner. If you spill something on it, clean it up right away with a slightly damp sponge. And remember, never use bleach solutions as they can damage the table. Assembly is required, so follow the instructions carefully to put it together.
