1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and identify them against the package contents list.

Operating Instructions

This 2-in-1 bench serves as both seating and a storage unit.

• Using as a Bench: Place the padded cushion on the top surface. The bench is designed to comfortably seat two individuals.
• Accessing Storage: To open the storage compartment, lift the lid. The gas spring mechanism will assist in holding the lid open. Remove the cushion before opening if it obstructs the lid.
• Closing Storage: Gently push the lid down until it closes securely. Ensure no items are obstructing the closing path.
• Portability: Use the integrated side handles to lift and move the bench. Always lift with two people if possible to ensure stability and prevent injury.

Maintenance

• Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the PE rattan and steel frame with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Cushion Care: The cushion cover is removable and washable. Remove the cover and clean it according to the fabric care instructions (typically spot clean or hand wash). Allow to air dry completely before reattaching.
• Winter Storage: During prolonged periods of non-use or harsh weather, it is recommended to store the bench indoors or cover it with a protective outdoor furniture cover to extend its lifespan.
• Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all nuts and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as needed to maintain stability.
