Using your Christopher Knight Home® Brooklyn 2 Seater Outdoor Sofa is a piece of cake. Just place it in your favorite outdoor spot and start relaxing on it. For maintenance, regularly wipe down the acacia wood frame with a damp cloth to keep it looking great. As for the water - resistant cushions, clean them with mild soap and water. Remember, these cushions aren't waterproof, so don't let them get submerged. When bad weather is coming, it's a good idea to cover the sofa or move it to a sheltered area to make it last longer.
