Using your Christopher Knight Home® Malia Hanging Chair is easy. First, assemble the metal hanging stand according to the instructions. Then, hang the chair on the stand. You can place it in a shaded or sunny spot in your backyard, depending on your preference. When sitting, just lean back and relax. To keep it in good condition, clean the water - resistant fabric of the hammock and cushions with a mild soap and water solution when they get dirty. Make sure to dry them thoroughly. During bad weather, it's a good idea to cover the chair or move it indoors to protect it from excessive moisture and damage. Check the stand regularly for any signs of wear and tear, like loose bolts or rust, and fix them as needed.
