Using your Marina Teak Wood Outdoor Patio Side Table is super easy. Just place it in your desired spot on the patio. Make sure to assemble it following the included instructions. When it comes to cleaning, a simple wipe with a damp cloth is usually enough. If there are stubborn stains, you can use a mild soap. Since teak is weather - resistant, you don't have to worry too much about normal rain or sun. But in extreme weather like heavy snow or long - term rainstorms, it's a good idea to cover the table. Over time, the teak may change color from its original warm tone to a beautiful silver - gray patina. If you prefer to keep the original color, you can apply a teak oil once or twice a year. Also, be careful when moving the table to avoid scratching the surface.
