Using your Christopher Knight Home® Rolando Outdoor Dining Bench is a breeze. First, you'll need to assemble it according to the instructions provided. Once it's put together, place it in your desired outdoor location, like near a patio table for a picnic or by a barbecue area. You can have multiple people sit on it as it can hold up to 600 lbs. When it comes to maintenance, clean the bench regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the finish. If you live in an area with extreme weather, it's a good idea to cover the bench during the off - season to keep it in great condition. Also, make sure not to exceed the weight capacity to ensure the bench's longevity.
