Using your Stance Outdoor Dining Set is easy. First, assemble the table and chairs according to the instructions. Then, place the cushions on the chairs. You can arrange the set in your outdoor space as you like, depending on the number of guests and the layout. When using the set, be aware that the chair weight capacity is 331 lbs, so don't exceed this limit. In terms of maintenance, the all-weather fabric cushions and powder-coated aluminum frame are water and UV resistant, but it's still a good idea to cover the set during extreme weather or when not in use for a long time. Wipe the spray stone glass table top with a mild cleaner regularly to keep it looking nice. If the cushions get dirty, you can spot clean them with a gentle detergent and water.
