Using this sofa set is a breeze. Just assemble it according to the provided instructions. You can place it in your garden, patio, or any outdoor area you like. Sit back on the water - resistant cushions and enjoy the summer. When it comes to spills on the cushions, simply wipe them off as the covers are non - porous. For maintenance, since the set is made of acacia wood, it's naturally weather - resistant. But to keep it looking its best, apply teak oil regularly. This will also help protect it from the elements. Be careful not to drag the furniture on rough surfaces to avoid scratches. And if there are any strong winds, it's a good idea to secure the set to prevent it from tipping over.
