Using your Christopher Knight Home® Tucson Outdoor Dining Table is a breeze. First, find a flat and stable surface in your outdoor area like your backyard, patio, or deck to assemble it. Follow the included instructions for assembly as it is required. Once assembled, you can place it with various seating options to create your ideal outdoor dining setup. For a romantic dinner, add some candles and soft lighting. When having a brunch with friends, set out your favorite dishes on it. Regarding maintenance, since it's made of aluminum, it's quite durable. But to keep it looking its best, clean it regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the shiny copper finish. Also, if there's a heavy storm or extreme weather, it's a good idea to cover the table to protect it. And make sure not to exceed the 300 - lb weight capacity to ensure the table's longevity.
