Using your Vineyards Cocktail Table is easy. Just place it in your living space where you'd like to enjoy a drink or display decorative items. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the pine finish gently to avoid scratching. For the cast - iron base, you can use a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly to prevent rust. Avoid placing hot items directly on the tabletop; use coasters instead. Also, be careful not to drag heavy objects across the surface as it might damage the finish. With proper care, this table will serve you well for a long time.
