Using this Maine outdoor dining set is easy. First, you'll need to assemble it as it comes with assembly required. Once assembled, place it in your desired outdoor area like your patio, backyard, or poolside. The chairs can hold up to 331 pounds, so feel free to sit back and relax. When it comes to cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution to wipe down the synthetic wood slats and the powder - coated aluminum frame. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may damage the finish. If you live in an area with harsh weather, it's a good idea to cover the set when not in use to prolong its lifespan. Check the plastic base glides regularly to make sure they're in good condition and replace them if needed.
