Using this Tommy Bahama outdoor table is a breeze. First, place it wherever you need it in your outdoor space. The cantilevered end makes it easy to tuck under seating for efficient use of space. It's perfect for setting out cocktails during poolside gatherings or snacks when you're having a quiet evening. When it comes to maintenance, since it's made from all - weather lanyard cording and wrought aluminum, you don't have to worry too much. Just use a mild soap and water to clean it regularly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might damage the finish that mimics natural teak. If there are any spills, wipe them up right away to keep the table looking its best. Also, in extreme weather conditions like heavy storms or strong winds, it's a good idea to store the table indoors to prevent any potential damage.
