Eucalyptus Wood Patio Side Table
Eucalyptus Wood Patio Side Table Made from solid wood, this small patio side table folds for the ultimate convenience. Tongue and groove joinery helps to keep the table strong and stable. Comes fully assembled. It's recommended that you cover or store away this table during harsh weather and winter.
Designer advice: Eucalyptus wood is naturally water-, uv- and mildew-resistant and can be left outside in a rainstorm. The design of this table features square cutouts on the tabletop, allowing rain to run through the openings, rather than pooling on top. Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to clean. To maintain the stained finish of your eucalyptus furniture, use teak oil or refined/boiled linseed oil in the spring and summer.
Resin Wicker Patio Side Table
Resin Wicker Patio Side Table This patio side table features the timeless look of woven wicker, but is crafted with fade-resistant resin wicker. Regular cleaning is recommended by vacuuming with a dust-brush attachment or by using a dry paintbrush. Clean with a mild soap solution.
Designer advice: Nothing says summer vacation quite like wicker furniture. And when you add a small table like this to your patio set, you can almost feel like you're getting away from it all. At 21" tall, this table is just the right height to reach for an icy drink and your latest novel. The tempered glass top is easy to clean and creates a solid surface.

Designer advice: We love the coastal vibe of these three tables with their geometric ring body pattern in a drum shape. The bottom of each table is open, allowing the tables to nest inside each other for space-saving storage.
