Using your Bristol 48 - inch round patio dining table is a breeze. Simply place it in your desired patio spot and if you want shade, insert an umbrella through the 1.75 - inch hole. When it comes to cleaning, a mild soap and water solution will do the trick. Wipe it down regularly to keep it looking its best. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the powder - coated finish. Since it's made of aluminum, it's quite durable, but in extreme weather conditions like heavy storms, it's a good idea to cover it or store it indoors. If you notice any small scratches, a touch - up paint can help restore its appearance. This table is made to order, so expect a 14 - day lead time before it arrives at your doorstep.
