Once it's set up, you can place it on your patio or any outdoor area. You can use it for having meals with your family and friends, or just for relaxing while enjoying the outdoors. When it comes to maintenance, it's simple. The teak wood is naturally resistant to weather, but you can apply a teak oil every once in a while to keep its rich color. The cushions are water and UV resistant, and their covers are machine - washable. Just remove the covers and wash them on a gentle cycle. As for the table and chairs, you can wipe them down with a damp cloth. Be careful not to drag heavy objects across the tabletop to avoid scratches. Also, during extreme weather like heavy storms or snow, it's a good idea to cover the set or store it indoors to prolong its lifespan.
