Using the Marina Outdoor Patio Rocking Chair is a piece of cake. Just place it on a flat surface in your patio, and you're ready to enjoy some relaxing time. When it comes to assembly, follow the included instructions carefully, and you'll have it set up in no time. As for maintenance, regularly wipe down the teak wood with a damp cloth to keep it clean. For the cushions, take them off and machine - wash them according to the label instructions to keep them fresh. Be sure to store the chair in a dry place during extreme weather conditions to extend its lifespan. And always check the screws and joints periodically to make sure they're tight.
