Using your Hugo outdoor chaise lounge is a breeze. Just adjust the sling - style seat and backrest to your preferred position for the most comfortable sitting or lying experience. Place it in your favorite outdoor spot, like a patio or by the pool. When it comes to maintenance, regularly clean the teak with a mild soap and water solution to keep it looking great. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the wood. Also, be aware that the product contains formaldehyde and wood dust as indicated by the Prop 65 warning. If you have any sensitivities, take proper precautions. When not in use, you can cover the chaise lounge to protect it from the elements and extend its lifespan.
