Using your Milano End Table is a breeze. Just place it wherever you need an extra surface outdoors, like by your patio chair or beside a lounger. When it comes to maintenance, use a mild soap and water solution to clean the Granite top and the rope - wrapped base. Make sure to dry it thoroughly after cleaning to prevent any water damage. Since it's weather - resistant, you can leave it outside, but in extreme weather conditions like heavy snow or strong storms, it's a good idea to cover it or move it to a sheltered area. The non - marking plastic glides protect your floors or patio surface, so there's no need to worry about scratches. If you notice any loose parts or damage, contact the manufacturer as it's made to order and they can assist you properly.
