Using your Marina Teak Outdoor Patio Sofa is easy. First, assemble it according to the included instructions. Once it's set up, place it in your outdoor patio where you and your guests can relax. When using the cushions, enjoy their comfort and durability. They are water and UV-resistant, so they can stay outside in most weather conditions. However, during heavy rain or snow, it's a good idea to cover them or bring them inside. For cleaning the cushions, simply remove the machine-washable covers and follow the washing instructions on the label. To maintain the teak wood, you can apply a teak oil every few months to keep its rich color and protect it from the elements. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the wood or cushions, as this could damage them. Also, be careful when moving the sofa to prevent scratches on the wood. With proper use and care, your Marina sofa will last for many years.
