This Bristol outdoor side table is great for your patio. To use it, simply place it where you want and put your items like drinks or books on the flat Sand Grey concrete top. When it comes to maintenance, keep it clean by regularly removing dust with a soft, dry cloth. If there are any smudges, use a slightly dampened soft cloth and dry it immediately to avoid damage. Always clean in the direction of the grain when cleaning the wood parts. And remember, don't let any liquids stand on the surface for too long. Also, be aware that it contains wood dust which has a PROP 65 warning.
