Using your Shore Outdoor Patio Dining Set is easy. First, assemble all the pieces according to the included instructions. Once assembled, place the dining table in the center of your patio or backyard, and arrange the six side chairs around it. For casual gatherings, you can use the table to serve food and drinks. During use, avoid dragging the chairs on hard surfaces to prevent damage to the non - marking black plastic foot caps. In case of spills, clean them up promptly with a mild soap and water solution. To maintain the anodized aluminum frame, you can wipe it down regularly with a soft cloth. If the set is not in use for an extended period, it's a good idea to cover it with a waterproof cover to protect it from the elements. Also, be aware that due to COVID - 19, there might be delays in getting replacement parts if needed.
