Using your Christopher Knight Home® Gianni Outdoor Wicker Teardrop Chair is easy. Just place it in your desired outdoor spot like your patio or deck and add the cushion for extra comfort. When you first get it, you'll need to assemble the chair. Follow the instructions carefully to ensure it's put together correctly. As for maintenance, since the rattan is made of durable polyethylene, it can withstand normal outdoor conditions. But if it gets dirty, you can wipe it down with a mild soap and water solution. The water - resistant cushions are great as they can handle a bit of moisture. However, it's a good idea to store them indoors during heavy rain or extreme weather to extend their lifespan. Also, check the chair regularly for any loose parts or signs of wear and tear. If you notice anything, make sure to address it right away to keep your chair in top shape for years to come.
