This New Jersey metal wall art is a great decorative item. To use it, you can simply hang it on the wall. If you ordered it with hanging holes, use appropriate nails or hooks. If not, you can get the holes added as described in the order process. As for maintenance, it's quite easy. Since it's powder - coated, it's durable. Just wipe it with a soft, dry cloth occasionally to keep it clean. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might damage the coating. Also, don't expose it to extreme heat or moisture for long periods to ensure its long - lasting quality.
