To use the Christopher Knight Home® Brava X - Back Right Corner Bench, first, assemble it following the included instructions. Once assembled, place it in your desired outdoor spot like a patio or garden. You can use the bench for relaxing, having a chat, or simply enjoying the outdoors. For the water - resistant cushions, they're easy to clean. Just wipe off any spills with a damp cloth. But remember, don't let them sit in water for a long time. When it's not in use, especially during rainy or snowy seasons, cover the bench with a waterproof cover to protect the wood and cushions. Every once in a while, check the joints of the acacia wood frame. If you notice any loose parts, tighten them up. Also, you can apply a light wood sealant to the acacia wood every year or so to keep it looking great and protect it from the elements.
