Using this side table is a breeze. Just place it in your desired spot on the patio or in the garden near your seating area. You can use it to hold drinks, snacks, or small decorative items. When it comes to maintenance, a simple wipe-down with a damp cloth every now and then will keep it looking great. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for long periods as it may cause the color to fade over time. Also, during harsh weather conditions like heavy rain or snow, it's a good idea to move it indoors or cover it to protect it from damage. With proper care, this side table will serve you well for years to come.
