Using your Terance Side Table is easy and fun. Just place it outdoors where you plan to entertain. The removable tray is great for carrying drinks or snacks to your guests. When it's not in use, make sure to store it indoors or cover it well to protect it from the elements. Never leave it in standing water as this can damage the wood. To keep it looking nice, use a small brush or a vacuum to dust it regularly. If there are any spills, quickly clean them up with a slightly damp sponge before they stain. Do not use bleach solutions as they can harm the table's finish. Also, remember that you'll need to assemble the table when you first get it.
