Using your Christopher Knight Home® Hermosa outdoor dining table is a breeze. Simply assemble it following the instructions included in the package. It's perfect for hosting outdoor parties or enjoying a quiet meal under the stars. When using it, make sure to place it on a flat and stable surface. As for maintenance, clean it regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Wipe it dry after cleaning to prevent water damage. In case of bad weather, it's a good idea to cover the table to protect it from the elements. If you choose to leave it outside, be aware that over time, the acacia wood may change color due to sun exposure, which is a natural process and won't affect the table's quality. And remember, although the table is hand - crafted with care, handle it gently to keep its beautiful appearance for years to come.
