Using this patio furniture set is a breeze. Place the bar table where you want to serve drinks, and use the ice bucket to keep your beverages cold. The stools are great for sitting around the bar table. The conversation set is perfect for relaxing and chatting with friends. For the loveseat, armchair, and ottoman, just adjust the feet to make them level on different surfaces. When it comes to maintenance, keep the furniture dry after rain. You can clean the wood with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using abrasive cleaners on the rope - woven chairs. If the furniture is not in use for a long time, cover it to protect it from the elements.
