Using your Athos Outdoor Sofa is a piece of cake. You can place it either indoors or outdoors according to your preference. When entertaining guests, the wide 82 - inch seat width provides ample space for everyone to sit comfortably. If the cushions get dirty, just remove them and clean the covers with ease. Assembly is straightforward. Just follow the step - by - step instructions that come with the sofa, and you'll have it set up in no time. As for maintenance, since it's water and UV resistant, it can withstand the elements. However, it's a good idea to cover it during harsh weather conditions to extend its lifespan. Check the rope and frame regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any issues, contact Armen Living, as the sofa comes with a 3 - year limited warranty on the frame and a 2 - year limited warranty on the cushions.
