Using your Marina 7 - piece teak outdoor dining set is a breeze. First, find a flat and stable area in your patio or garden to assemble it. Follow the included instructions carefully for proper assembly. Once assembled, it's ready for you to host family dinners or friend gatherings. When using, avoid dragging the chairs across the floor to prevent scratches on the teak. In terms of maintenance, the teak wood naturally resists weather, but you can apply a teak oil every few months to keep its rich color. The cushions are water and UV resistant, but it's a good idea to bring them indoors during heavy rain or long - term storage. The machine - washable covers make it easy to keep the cushions clean. Just remove the covers and wash them according to the care label. Due to COVID - 19, be aware that shipping and processing times may be longer than usual.
