To use this modular outdoor acacia chat set, first assemble it following the step - by - step instructions that come with the set. Place the two corner chairs and the ottoman in your desired patio arrangement. You can use it as a cozy chat set or create a chaise - like bench. The cushions are there for your comfort, and you can easily remove the covers for cleaning as they're UV - resistant and secured with hook - and - loop fasteners. When it comes to maintenance, remember to treat the solid acacia wood frame with teak oil every 2 - 3 months. This will help maintain its vibrant color and keep it durable against the outdoor elements. Also, be aware that due to COVID - 19, there might be delays in processing and shipping as state mandates limit UPS/FedEx pickups and freight trailer operations.
