Using your Christopher Knight Home® Outdoor Dining Bench is easy. Just place it in your outdoor area near your dining table. When assembling, follow the included instructions carefully. Use the provided tools to put it together. For safety, make sure the bench is on a flat and stable surface before sitting on it. To keep it looking great, clean it regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the aluminum frame and the finish. In case of bad weather, it's a good idea to cover the bench or store it indoors to prevent long - term exposure to the elements and extend its lifespan.
