Using your Christopher Knight Home® Cape Coral Outdoor Aluminum Coffee Table is easy. First, assemble it following the included instructions. Once assembled, place it in your desired outdoor location, like your patio. You can put your coffee mugs, snacks, or a small plant on it. When using it, make sure not to exceed the 250 - pound weight capacity to avoid any damage. For maintenance, wipe the tempered glass tabletop regularly with a soft cloth and a mild glass cleaner. To keep the aluminum frame in good condition, wash it with soapy water and rinse thoroughly. In case of bad weather, it's a good idea to cover the table or store it indoors to prevent long - term exposure to harsh elements. And always check the assembly parts occasionally to ensure they are tight and secure.
