Using the Christopher Knight Home® Carolina Outdoor Acacia Wood Sofa is a breeze. Just assemble it following the included instructions, and then place it in your patio or backyard. You can arrange the cushions however you like for maximum comfort. When using, avoid placing sharp objects on the cushions to prevent tears. In case of spills on the water - resistant cushions, quickly wipe them with a clean cloth. To maintain the sofa, clean the acacia wood frame regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Then dry it thoroughly to prevent moisture damage. During extreme weather like heavy snow or strong storms, it's a good idea to cover the sofa or store it indoors to extend its lifespan.
