Using your Christopher Knight Home® Nestor 79 Expandable Outdoor Dining Table is a breeze. When you need more space, just use the simple and smooth extension mechanism to open it up. It can quickly go from a compact form to a large dining surface. When you're done, close it back up and it's easy to store. For maintenance, since it's made of acacia wood, it's quite weather - resistant. But it's still a good idea to cover it during extreme weather conditions like heavy snow or long - term rain. Wipe it down with a mild soap and water solution regularly to keep the textured surface looking its best. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the wood. With proper care, this table will serve you well for many years of outdoor dining.
