Using your Maldives outdoor patio modular sectional is a breeze. First, you'll need to assemble it as it comes with some assembly required. Once it's set up on your deck or porch, you can arrange the modular pieces however you like to fit your space and style. To keep it looking great, clean the cream water - resistant fabric regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the fabric. In case of heavy rain or extreme weather, it's a good idea to cover the sectional to protect it from long - term exposure. The grey aluminum base is sturdy, but you should still check the connections occasionally to make sure everything remains tight. Enjoy your outdoor entertaining area and make the most of your new sectional!
