Using your Christopher Knight Home® Zion Outdoor Coffee Table is a breeze. Place it in your desired outdoor spot, like your patio or backyard. Before using, make sure you've assembled it correctly following the instructions. When enjoying a drink or having a snack, just put your items on the tabletop. For parties, it can hold snacks and drinks for your guests. As for maintenance, clean the table regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Dry it thoroughly to prevent any moisture damage. If it's going to be a long - term rainy or snowy season, consider covering the table to protect it from the elements. Also, avoid dragging heavy objects across the tabletop to prevent scratches. With proper care, your coffee table will last for years and keep looking great.
