Using this Christopher Knight Home® outdoor storage cabinet is a breeze. First, you'll need to do a bit of light assembly following the included instructions. Once it's set up, place it in your desired outdoor location. For hosting events, you can fill it with plastic cutlery, serving plates, and other entertaining accessories. After the party, simply put them back inside. When it comes to pool toys or beach gear, let the wet items dry on the open wicker bottom, which allows water to drain quickly. Regarding maintenance, regularly wipe the cabinet with a damp cloth to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the polyethylene wicker. If you live in an area with extreme weather, consider covering the cabinet during the off - season to prolong its lifespan. And remember, you can choose from different color options to match your patio's style.
