Using this Christopher Knight Home® outdoor bench is easy. First, assemble it following the included instructions. Once assembled, place it on a flat surface on your porch or in your backyard. You can use it for relaxing, reading a book, or enjoying a snack. When it comes to maintenance, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth regularly to keep it clean. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may damage the finish. In case of bad weather, if possible, cover the bench to protect it from excessive moisture and extend its lifespan. Also, make sure to check the assembly parts occasionally to ensure they remain tight and secure.
