Using the La Jolla Round Cocktail Table is easy. Just place it in your patio or garden, and it's ready to use as a centerpiece for your outdoor gatherings. You can put drinks, snacks, or decorative items on the faux slate top. When it comes to maintenance, the protective finish means you don't have to worry too much. Just wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth occasionally to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the finish. In case of bad weather, if possible, cover the table or move it indoors to protect it from extreme conditions. The optional accent pillows can be removed and washed according to the fabric's care instructions. With proper care, this table will serve you well for years.
