Using your Coastal Teak end table is a breeze. Just place it in your desired outdoor spot and start using it right away. It's perfect for holding drinks, snacks, or a book while you enjoy the outdoors. When it comes to assembly, follow the included instructions carefully. Some parts might need to be put together, but it's a straightforward process. As for maintenance, teak is a durable wood, but it still needs some care. Wipe it down regularly with a soft cloth to keep it clean. If you notice any dirt or stains, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the finish. Over time, the table will develop a beautiful patina, which is a natural part of the aging process. You can choose to embrace this look or apply a teak oil to maintain its original color. Make sure to store the table in a dry place during extreme weather conditions to prolong its lifespan.
