Using your Marina 9 - Piece Teak Wood Outdoor Patio Set is easy. First, assemble the set following the included instructions. Once assembled, place the table and chairs in your desired outdoor location. When you have a larger gathering, extend the table by pulling out the collapsable middle leaves. The chairs are great for sitting back and enjoying your time outdoors. As for maintenance, the teak wood is naturally durable, but you can apply a teak oil every once in a while to keep it looking its best. The cushions are water and UV - resistant, and the covers are machine - washable, so just remove the covers and toss them in the washing machine when they get dirty. Also, keep in mind that due to COVID - 19, there may be delays in shipping. And make sure not to exceed the weight capacity of 441 lbs on the set to ensure its longevity.
