Using your Coastal Teak dining table is easy. Just place it in your outdoor area and enjoy your gatherings. If you want some shade, insert an umbrella into the hole and secure it with the cap. Assembly is required, so follow the included instructions carefully. When it comes to maintenance, teak is a low - maintenance wood. However, you can clean it with a mild soap and water solution occasionally to keep it looking its best. Over time, the table will develop a beautiful patina. If you prefer to keep the original color, you can apply a teak sealer. Avoid leaving heavy or sharp objects on the table for a long time to prevent scratches. And in case of extreme weather, it's a good idea to cover the table or store it indoors to protect it.
