Using your new 7 - piece outdoor PE wicker furniture set is a breeze. First, when you receive the packages (remember, there are 3 of them and they might not come together), check for any damage. If you find any, contact the seller right away. Then, use the included hardware and follow the detailed instructions to assemble the sectional sofa. It's designed to be easy to put together. Once it's set up on your patio or in your garden, you can start enjoying it with family and friends. The thick cushions provide great comfort. For maintenance, the cushion covers are easy to clean. You can remove them via the zipper and machine - wash them, though hand - washing is better for long - term protection. Also, since the set is made to withstand different weather conditions, you don't have to worry too much about leaving it outside. But in extreme weather like heavy snow or storms, you might want to cover it to extend its lifespan.
