Using this patio table is easy. Just place it in your desired outdoor spot, like a patio or garden. You can use it for dining, having coffee, or playing games. When using it, avoid placing extremely hot items directly on the wood surface; use coasters to protect it. In terms of maintenance, clean the table regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Wipe it dry after cleaning to prevent water damage. If you live in an area with harsh weather, it's a good idea to cover the table or store it indoors during the off - season to keep it in good condition.
