Using this Tommy Bahama outdoor cocktail table is a breeze. You can place it in your backyard, patio, or any outdoor area you like. It's great for having drinks with friends during a party or just sipping your coffee alone in the morning. When it comes to maintenance, since it's made of Eclipse synthetic teak, you don't have to worry too much. Just use a mild soap and water to clean the tabletop regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the finish. In bad weather, it can resist the elements well, but if there's a really heavy storm or snow, you might want to cover it to extend its lifespan. And always make sure to place it on a flat surface to prevent it from wobbling.
