Using this Tommy Bahama outdoor cocktail table is a breeze. Simply place it in your outdoor area where you plan to entertain, like on your patio or deck. It's great for putting drinks, snacks, or decorative items on during your gatherings. When it comes to maintenance, it's easy too. Wipe it down regularly with a soft, damp cloth to keep it clean. You don't need any harsh chemicals. If there are stubborn stains, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid leaving heavy or sharp objects on the table for a long time as it might scratch the surface. Also, during extreme weather like heavy storms or snow, it's a good idea to cover the table or store it indoors to extend its lifespan. And don't forget, you can customize it with different fabrics and trims to match your personal style and make your outdoor space even more special.
