Using this side table is a breeze. Once it's delivered, you can immediately place it in your desired outdoor spot, like beside a lounge chair or a hammock. Then, you can put your drinks, snacks, or small decorations on the tempered glass top. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the glass top and the rattan part. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the rattan or the glass. Also, during extreme weather conditions like heavy storms or snow, it's a good idea to move the table indoors to prevent any potential damage. With proper care, this side table will serve you well for a long time.
