Using this Christopher Knight Home® Aston 2 Seater Right - Side Sofa is a breeze. Just place it in your desired spot in the living room, and you're ready to enjoy a comfortable seating experience. When it comes to maintenance, since the cushions are water - resistant, you can simply wipe off any spills with a damp cloth. For the acacia wood frame, use a mild wood cleaner occasionally to keep it looking its best. As for precautions, avoid placing the sofa in direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the wood and cushions over time. Also, try to keep sharp objects away from the sofa to prevent scratches on the wood and tears in the cushions.
