Using your Dana Rope Sofa is easy. Just place it in your desired outdoor or indoor space. Make sure the area is flat to keep the sofa stable. When sitting, distribute your weight evenly to avoid putting too much pressure on one side. To keep it in great shape, clean it regularly. For the rope, you can use a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. The cushions can be spot - cleaned with a mild detergent and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the fabric or the rope. During extreme weather conditions like heavy storms or snow, it's a good idea to cover the sofa or store it indoors. This will help protect it from the elements and extend its lifespan. Also, check the frame and the rope periodically for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any issues, contact the manufacturer for advice.
