Using your Akita Folding Table is a breeze. First, find a flat outdoor spot. Unfold the table carefully and place it where you want to have your gathering. If it's sunny, put an umbrella through the cut - out in the center to stay shaded. When you're done, fold it back up for easy storage. Here are some things to keep in mind. Don't put more than 132 lbs on the table to avoid damage. If it gets dirty, use a mild soap and water to clean the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the powder - coated finish. Keep it in a dry place when not in use to prevent rust on the steel frame. If you need to assemble it, follow the included instructions step by step. With proper care, your Akita Table will serve you well for many outdoor gatherings.
