Using this outdoor dining bench is easy. First, you'll need to assemble it according to the instructions provided. Once assembled, place it in your desired outdoor spot, like your backyard or patio. You can use it to seat guests during outdoor parties, picnics, or barbecues. Just make sure not to exceed its 600 - lb weight capacity. For maintenance, regularly clean the acacia wood top with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for extended periods as it might cause the wood to fade. If it rains, try to cover the bench or move it to a sheltered area to prevent water damage. Also, check the frame periodically for any signs of wear or damage and tighten any loose screws if needed.
