Using the Christopher Knight Home Westcott Outdoor Dining Table is a breeze. First, assemble it following the included instructions. Once it's set up, place it in your backyard or patio. You can add up to six chairs around it for outdoor gatherings. When having a meal outdoors, simply put your plates, utensils, and food on the table. As for maintenance, wipe the eucalyptus wood tabletop with a damp cloth regularly to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the natural finish. For the aluminum legs, a gentle cleaning with soapy water is enough. In case of bad weather, it's a good idea to cover the table or move it indoors to protect it from rain and extreme temperatures. Also, check the assembly parts periodically to make sure they are tight and secure.
