Using this Tommy Bahama outdoor cocktail table is a breeze. Place it in your outdoor living area, especially near cozy sectionals. It's great for putting drinks, snacks, or decorative items during gatherings. When using it, avoid placing extremely hot objects directly on the satin - black high - density laminate top to prevent damage. In terms of maintenance, you can wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth regularly. Since it's made of weather - resistant materials, it can stay outdoors all year. But in case of extreme weather like heavy storms or blizzards, it's a good idea to cover it or store it indoors to extend its lifespan.
