Using your Christopher Knight Home® Giovanna Outdoor Aluminum 3 Seater Sofa is a breeze. Just place it in your desired outdoor spot, assemble it following the included instructions, and add the cushions. For outdoor gatherings, arrange some snacks and drinks around it, and you're all set for a relaxing time. When it comes to maintenance, since the sofa is weather - resistant, you don't need to do much. But it's a good idea to clean the aluminum frame with a mild soap and water solution every few months. If the cushions get dirty, spot - clean them with a gentle cleaner suitable for water - resistant fabric. In harsh weather conditions like heavy snow or storms, it's best to cover the sofa to protect it. Also, make sure to keep sharp objects away from the cushions to prevent tears. With proper care, your sofa will last for a long time and keep looking great.
