Using your Catalina Distressed Wood Racetrack Dining Table is a breeze. It's great for both casual meals and formal dinners. When you first get it, you'll need to assemble it by attaching the stretcher and tabletop to the base. Don't worry, all the hardware and instructions are provided. For cleaning, just take a white cotton cloth, dampen it with water, and gently wipe the table. Then use a clean, dry cloth to dry it off. If there's a spill, clean it up right away with a soft, slightly damp cloth. This will help keep the natural color and distressed wood finish looking great. Also, keep in mind the leg height of 27.93 and the floor clearance of 25.06 when placing it in your dining area. And since there's no lighting included, you can choose the lighting that suits your style and needs.
