Using your Vegas Rectangular Dining Table is easy. First, assemble it following the included instructions. Once assembled, place it in your desired outdoor spot. You can use the umbrella hole to add an umbrella for shade on sunny days. When it comes to cleaning, simply use a mild soap and water solution to wipe down the slate top and aluminum frame. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the finish. In case of bad weather, it's a good idea to cover the table to protect it. Check the non - marking plastic glides regularly to ensure they're in good condition. If you notice any loose parts, tighten them up right away to keep the table stable. And remember, since it's made to order, it might take about 14 days to arrive, so plan ahead for your outdoor gatherings.
