You can use this Brielle outdoor iron bench on your porch to enjoy the fresh air or place it in the foyer for a touch of elegance. When using it, make sure not to exceed the 550 - pound weight limit. For maintenance, it's a good idea to store the bench indoors or cover it when you're not using it. If there are any spills, clean them up right away with a slightly damp sponge. Don't let wooden parts sit in water. Regularly dust the bench with a small brush or a vacuum. And remember, never use bleach on it. Assembly is required, so follow the instructions carefully when setting it up.
