To use this dining table, simply place it in your dining room and add chairs around it. You can use it for family meals, dinner parties, or as a workspace. When cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface to avoid scratching. Avoid placing hot objects directly on the table; use coasters or trivets. Periodically, apply a wood polish to keep the pine looking its best and to protect it from drying out and cracking.
