To use this dining table, simply place it in your dining area and arrange your chairs around it. You can use it for family meals, dinners with friends, or even as a workspace. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the pine finish. For long - term maintenance, apply a furniture polish every few months to keep the wood looking its best. Make sure to place coasters under hot or wet items to prevent stains and marks on the tabletop.
