Using this bench is easy. Just assemble it following the instructions included in the package. Place it in your patio or garden where you want to relax. You can use it alone or put it near other outdoor furniture. When it comes to maintenance, clean it regularly with a soft cloth to keep it looking good. Avoid leaving it in extremely wet or harsh weather conditions for a long time. If it gets dirty, you can use a mild soap and water solution to clean it. Don't use abrasive cleaners as they may damage the teak finish. Also, check the joints and screws periodically to make sure they are tight.
