Using your Christopher Knight Home® Chalmette Brown Dining Table is a breeze. Just place it in your dining area and start hosting meals or gatherings. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the tabletop and frame. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the metal finish or damage the lightweight concrete top. For long - term use, try not to place extremely hot items directly on the table; use coasters or trivets instead. Also, don't overload the table with excessive weight to maintain its stability. Regularly check the frame joints to ensure they're tight. If you notice any loose parts, tighten them gently with a suitable tool. With these simple steps, your dining table will stay in great shape for years to come.
