Using your Christopher Knight Home® Acacia Wood Porch Swing is easy. First, find a suitable spot with an 8 - foot ceiling, as the included chains are designed for this height. Hang the swing securely and then you're ready to relax. You can enjoy a sunny day, read a book, or just have a peaceful moment on it. When it comes to maintenance, keep it clean by wiping it down with a damp cloth every once in a while. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the wood's finish. In case of bad weather, if possible, cover the swing or move it to a sheltered area. This will help protect the acacia wood and keep your porch swing looking great for a long time. And remember, although it has a high weight capacity of 800 pounds, don't overload it to ensure its durability.
