4. Assembly Instructions
Assembly is straightforward and typically takes less than an hour with proper attention to the instructions. It is recommended to have two people for assembly.
Important Assembly Tip:
Do not fully tighten any bolts until all components of a single furniture piece are loosely assembled. This allows for proper alignment and prevents stress on the frame. Once all bolts are in place for a piece, then proceed to fully tighten them.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a soft, clean surface. Identify each component and hardware piece using the provided parts list (if applicable).
- Assemble Single Sofas (x2):
- Attach the backrest to the seat frame using the specified bolts.
- Connect the armrests to the seat and backrest.
- Hand-tighten all bolts for this sofa. Repeat for the second single sofa.
- Assemble Loveseat (x1):
- Attach the backrest to the loveseat frame.
- Connect the armrests to the loveseat seat and backrest.
- Hand-tighten all bolts for the loveseat.
- Assemble Coffee Table (x1):
- Attach the legs to the tabletop frame.
- Secure any crossbars or supports.
- Hand-tighten all bolts for the coffee table.
- Final Tightening: Once all furniture pieces are assembled with hand-tightened bolts, place each piece on a level surface. Systematically tighten all bolts securely using the provided Allen wrench. Ensure all connections are firm.
- Place Cushions and Glass Top: Position the cushions on the seats and carefully place the tempered glass top onto the coffee table.

6. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your patio set.
- Cleaning the Wicker and Frame: Wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cushion Care: The cushion covers are removable and washable. Follow the care instructions on the cushion labels. Allow cushions to air dry completely before re-use or storage.
- Tempered Glass Top: Clean with a glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid placing extremely hot items directly on the glass.
- Weather Protection: While the rattan is designed to withstand various weather conditions, prolonged exposure to extreme elements (heavy rain, snow, intense sun) can affect its longevity. Consider using furniture covers or storing cushions indoors during inclement weather or off-season.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary.
7. Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Furniture feels wobbly or unstable. | Bolts are not fully tightened; uneven surface. | Ensure all bolts are securely tightened. Move furniture to a flat, level surface. |
| Cushions appear flattened or misshapen. | Prolonged use; improper storage. | Fluff cushions regularly. Store cushions in a dry, protected area when not in use. |
