Using this Maldives outdoor patio modular sectional is a breeze. First, find a suitable spot on your deck or porch to place the pieces. You can arrange them in different configurations according to your space and preference. When it comes to sitting, just relax on the comfortable cream - colored water - resistant fabric. For maintenance, it's easy! Wipe the fabric with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. In case of heavy stains, you can use a mild detergent. The aluminum frame is quite durable, but it's a good idea to check for any signs of wear and tear periodically. During harsh weather conditions like heavy snow or storms, it's best to cover the sectional to extend its lifespan. Also, make sure to follow the assembly instructions carefully when setting it up for the first time.
