Using your Maldives outdoor patio coffee table is a breeze. Just place it on your deck or porch and start using it right away for serving drinks, snacks, or displaying decorative items. When it comes to maintenance, a simple wipe - down with a mild soap and water solution every few weeks will keep it looking great. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the aluminum surface. In case of bad weather, if possible, cover the table to prevent long - term exposure to rain, snow, or extreme sunlight. When assembling the table, follow the included instructions carefully and use the provided tools. If you have any parts left over after assembly, double - check the instructions to make sure you haven't missed a step.
