Using your Christopher Knight Home® Carolina Outdoor Coffee Table is a breeze. Simply place it in your covered or sheltered outdoor seating area. You can put your drinks, snacks, or other items on the tabletop for a relaxing outdoor time. Assembly is required, so follow the instructions carefully. Make sure all parts are securely attached. When it comes to maintenance, clean the table regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the wood. If there's any dirt or debris on the slat panels, you can gently brush it off. Also, keep an eye on the weather. While the table can withstand mild conditions, it's best to protect it from extreme weather like heavy rain or snow to maintain its quality and appearance.
