Using your Christopher Knight Home® Raphael Outdoor Acacia Wood Bench is easy. First, find a flat and stable surface in your backyard or patio to place it. As assembly is required, follow the instructions carefully during setup. You can use it on its own as a relaxing spot or pair it with an outdoor dining table. When using it, make sure not to put excessive weight on one side to avoid tipping. For maintenance, clean it regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Wipe it dry after cleaning to prevent water damage. During harsh weather, it's a good idea to cover the bench or store it indoors to extend its lifespan. Also, check the legs and joints occasionally to ensure they are tight and in good condition.
