Using your Grado coffee table is a breeze. Just place it in your outdoor area where you want to relax and enjoy your coffee. Since it's made for the outdoors, it can handle different weather conditions, but it's a good idea to cover it during extreme weather like heavy storms. For maintenance, wipe it down with a mild soap and water solution regularly to keep it looking clean. If there are any scratches on the powder - coated surface, you can use a touch - up paint that matches the charcoal color. Don't use abrasive cleaners as they might damage the aluminum finish. Also, make sure the adjustable levelers are set properly so the table stands stable.
