Using this Carlysle Cocker Spaniel Dog Bench is super easy. Just place it in your desired outdoor spot, like your garden or patio, right out of the box as it doesn't need assembly. It can be used for sitting and enjoying the outdoors or just as a decorative piece to make your space look nicer. When it comes to maintenance, since it's weather - resistant, you don't have to worry too much. But it's a good idea to clean it occasionally with a mild soap and water solution to keep its gray finish looking fresh. Also, try to avoid hitting it with hard objects to prevent any damage to the delicate details on the bench. With proper care, this bench will stay beautiful for a long time.
