Using your Christopher Knight Home® Carlisle Outdoor Dining Table is a breeze. First, make sure to assemble it following the included instructions. Once it's set up, place it in your desired outdoor location like your backyard or patio. You can use it for various events such as dinner parties or barbecues. When you're done using it, it's a good idea to clean it regularly. Wipe the acacia wood tabletop with a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly. Avoid leaving any spills on the table for a long time as it may damage the wood. For the metal frame, check it occasionally for any signs of rust. If you notice some, use a mild metal cleaner to remove it. In harsh weather conditions like heavy rain or snow, consider covering the table with a waterproof cover to protect it. With proper care, this table will serve you well for many outdoor gatherings to come.
