Using your Duke Ridged Iron Bench is easy. Just place it in your desired outdoor spot and enjoy a comfortable seating experience. When it comes to maintenance, use a mild soap and water solution to clean the iron and leather parts regularly. This will keep the bench looking its best. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might damage the finish. In case of bad weather, if possible, cover the bench or move it to a sheltered area to prevent rusting and other weather - related damage. Always check the bench for any loose parts and tighten them if needed to ensure long - lasting use.
