Using your Christopher Knight Home® Arlington 2 Seater Sofa is a breeze. Just place it in your preferred outdoor spot and enjoy the comfortable seating. When spills occur on the cushions, simply wipe them with a damp cloth as the cushions are water - resistant. As for maintenance, periodically check the acacia wood frame for any signs of dirt. You can clean it with a mild soap and water solution. Make sure to dry it thoroughly to prevent any damage. When assembling, follow the detailed instructions provided carefully and use the included tools. Avoid placing the sofa in direct sunlight for extended periods to maintain the color of the wood and cushions. In case of extreme weather, it's a good idea to cover the sofa to protect it.
