Using your Christopher Knight Home® Downey 71 Outdoor Dining Table is a breeze. Just assemble it following the included instructions. Once it's set up on your patio or deck, it's ready to use for all your outdoor dining needs, like breakfasts, lunches, or dinner parties. When it comes to maintenance, keep it clean by wiping it down with a mild soap and water solution regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the teak finish of the wood and the rustic metal finish of the iron accents. During extreme weather conditions, it's a good idea to cover the table to protect it from rain, snow, and strong sunlight. If you notice any loose parts, check the assembly and tighten them up as needed. This way, your table will stay in great shape and serve you well for years to come.
