Using your Christopher Knight Home® Oana 3 - Piece Outdoor Sofa Set is easy. First, assemble it following the included instructions. You can arrange the two twin sectional end pieces and the armless component in different ways to fit your outdoor space. For cozy gatherings, put them together. If you need more flexibility, place them separately. When using the sofa set, make sure to keep it on a flat surface. The cushions are very comfortable, but if they get dirty, just unzip the covers and clean them. In terms of maintenance, since the sofa is made of acacia wood, it's naturally resistant to the elements. However, it's a good idea to clean it regularly with a mild soap and water solution. After cleaning, let it dry thoroughly. If you live in an area with harsh winters, you might want to store the sofa set indoors to extend its lifespan. And that's all you need to know to enjoy your new outdoor sofa set for years to come.
