Using this dining table is easy. First, assemble it according to the instructions. Once it's set up, place it in your desired outdoor spot. You can put tablecloths, plates, and other dining essentials on it for your outdoor meals. When it comes to maintenance, regularly wipe the table with a soft, damp cloth to keep it clean. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may damage the shiny copper finish. If there are any scratches or dents, you can use a mild metal polish to restore its shine. Also, during harsh weather, it's a good idea to cover the table or move it indoors to prevent long - term damage. The table has a weight capacity of 300 lbs, so don't overload it to ensure its longevity.
