Using this bench is easy. Just place it in your preferred outdoor spot and start relaxing on it. The right - facing armrest is there for extra comfort while you sit. When spills happen on the cushions, simply wipe them clean as the non - porous covering makes it easy. To keep your bench in top shape, cover the cushions when it's not in use and don't let them get submerged in water. Also, the acacia wood frame is tough, but it's still a good idea to keep it away from extreme weather conditions as much as possible. Assembly is straightforward. Just follow the included instructions for a quick setup.
