Using this outdoor dining set is easy. Just place the table and chairs where you want them in your patio. The chairs are stackable, so when not in use, you can stack them up to save space. The water-resistant cushions add comfort during your meals. When it comes to maintenance, use a mild soap and water to clean the PE wicker and iron frames. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the wicker. For the cushions, spot clean them as needed. Also, during harsh weather, it's a good idea to store the cushions indoors to keep them in good condition. And always make sure the set is on a flat surface to prevent any tipping.
