Using this table is super easy. You can place it indoors in your living room to hold your books, magazines, or decorative items. Outdoors, it can be a great spot for a potted plant or a drink. Just make sure to put it on a flat surface to keep it stable. When it comes to safety, be aware that it contains ceramic fibers which are a Prop 65 chemical and may cause cancer. So, try to avoid direct contact with the inner parts. For maintenance, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth regularly. If there are stubborn stains, you can use a mild soap. But don't use abrasive cleaners as they might damage the acrylic finish.
