Using your Stance Outdoor Patio Sectional Sofa Set is a breeze. First, assemble the pieces according to the included instructions. Once it's set up, you can arrange the sofa and chairs however you like to fit your patio space and the number of guests. Place the side table where it's convenient for holding drinks and snacks. When using the cushions, just plop down and enjoy the softness. To keep your set in top shape, clean the aluminum frame with a mild soap and water solution regularly. Wipe down the synthetic wood tabletops to remove any dirt or stains. In case of heavy rain or extreme weather, it's a good idea to cover the set or move it indoors. Also, don't overload the chairs or sofa beyond their weight capacity. With proper care, your Stance set will last you for many enjoyable outdoor gatherings.
