Using your Christopher Knight Home® Chalmette Grey Dining Bench is a breeze. Just place it in your desired outdoor spot, like your backyard or patio, and start using it for dining, relaxing, or chatting with friends. When it comes to cleaning, simply use a mild soap and water solution to wipe down the bench. Rinse it thoroughly and let it dry completely. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools as they may damage the surface. During harsh weather conditions, like heavy snow or extreme heat, it's a good idea to cover the bench or store it indoors to extend its lifespan. Check the bench regularly for any signs of wear and tear, and tighten the screws if needed to keep it stable.
