Using this outdoor dining table is easy. Just gather your family or friends, place your food and drinks on the tabletop, and enjoy your meal outdoors. When it comes to assembly, you'll need to put in a bit of effort as some parts need to be put together, but it's not overly complicated. Make sure to follow the instructions included in the package. For maintenance, keep the table dry as much as possible. If it gets wet, dry it with a soft cloth. In case of dirt or stains, use a mild soap and water solution to clean the table. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can damage the teak finish. During harsh weather conditions like heavy snow or extreme heat, it's a good idea to cover the table or store it indoors to prolong its lifespan.
