Using your Christopher Knight Home® Varva Outdoor Dining Bench is a breeze. First, assemble it according to the included instructions. Once assembled, place it wherever you'd like in your outdoor area, like next to a dining table or under a shade tree. It can comfortably seat multiple people, so use it for family dinners, picnics, or casual hang - outs. When it comes to maintenance, keep the bench clean by wiping it down regularly with a damp cloth. If there are stubborn stains, you can use a mild soap solution. Since it's an outdoor bench, try to cover it during harsh weather conditions to protect the acacia wood and the metal frame. Also, check the joints and screws periodically to ensure they're tight and secure. Remember, the bench has a weight capacity of 600 lbs, so don't overload it.
