Using this Christopher Knight Home® Rhode Island 7 Piece Rectangular Table is easy. Just place it on your patio and arrange the chairs around it. It's great for family dinners, parties, or just relaxing outdoors. When it comes to maintenance, you can clean the wicker with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush. Make sure to dry it thoroughly to prevent mold. In harsh weather, it's a good idea to cover the table with a waterproof cover.
