Using this Archie 3 - piece outdoor set is a breeze. First, you'll need to assemble it as assembly is required. Once it's put together, place it on your balcony, patio, or in the backyard. You can sit on the chairs with the soft beige cushions for a comfortable lounging or chatting experience. When it comes to weight, each chair can hold up to 330 lbs and the table can handle 165 lbs, so make sure not to overload them. As for maintenance, just wipe the set with a damp cloth. Also, be aware that there is a Prop 65 chemical (DEHP) in the product which may cause cancer. Keep these things in mind and enjoy your outdoor set all year round.
