Using this dining table is easy. Just place it in your dining area and start using it for meals, gatherings, or other activities. When cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the pine surface. For long - term maintenance, it's a good idea to apply a wood polish every few months to keep the wood looking its best. Also, try to avoid placing hot items directly on the table; use coasters or trivets instead. If there are any spills, clean them up promptly to prevent stains.
