Using this Emu Plus 4 Extendable Rectangular Dining Table is a breeze. When you need more space, simply use the smooth mechanism to extend the table from 86.5 inches to 130 inches. It's great for family dinners or when you have guests over. For regular cleaning, just use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the tabletop. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might scratch the surface. Since it's made of steel, it's quite sturdy, but try not to put excessive weight on one side to maintain its stability. When not in use, retract the table to save space. Keep it away from sharp objects to prevent scratches. If you notice any loose parts, it's advisable to tighten them as soon as possible to ensure long - term durability.
