Using your Christopher Knight Home® chaise lounge is easy. First, assemble it according to the included instructions. Once it's set up, you can adjust the backrest to one of the five positions to suit your activity. Whether you want to sit up and read or lie back and soak up the sun, just find the most comfortable angle. When using it, make sure to place it on a flat and stable surface. To keep your chaise lounge in top condition, clean it regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the wood and faux rattan. During extreme weather conditions like heavy rain or snow, it's a good idea to cover the lounge or store it indoors. Check the screws and joints periodically to ensure they are tight. With proper care, your chaise lounge will provide you with many years of relaxation.
