2. Safety Information
To ensure safe use and prevent injury or damage, please observe the following safety guidelines:
- Always ensure the table and chairs are properly assembled before use. Verify all screws and fasteners are securely tightened.
- Do not overload the table, especially on one side, to prevent tip-over. Distribute weight evenly.
- Exercise caution around the edges of the chairs and table during assembly and use, as some components may have sharp points.
- Keep children and pets away from the assembly area.
- Do not stand on the table or chairs.
3. Setup and Assembly
The PHI VILLA 9-Piece Outdoor Dining Set requires assembly. All necessary hardware and an instruction manual are included in the package. Assembly is designed to be straightforward.
3.1 Package Contents
The complete set is shipped in five boxes:
- One (1) box for the dining table.
- Four (4) boxes for the chairs (each containing two chairs).
Please note that due to potential dispatch from different warehouses, you may receive the packages on separate days.
3.2 Assembly Steps
- Align all holes first: Before inserting any screws, ensure all corresponding holes on the components are aligned.
- Insert screws loosely: Place all screws into their respective holes without fully tightening them. This allows for minor adjustments.
- Tighten all screws: Once all components are in place and screws are loosely inserted, gradually tighten all screws until secure.
Caution: Do not align one hole and immediately tighten that screw. This can prevent other holes from aligning correctly. It is recommended to use your own electrical drill or tools to significantly reduce assembly time.

5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan and preserve the appearance of your PHI VILLA dining set.
- Cleaning: Wipe the table and chairs with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then rinse thoroughly and dry immediately.
- Weather Protection: The steel components are treated with an e-coating layer and premium powder finish for rust and weather resistance. The wicker is UV and fade resistant. However, to maximize longevity, it is recommended to avoid direct rain exposure and use a protective cover when the furniture is not in use, especially during harsh weather conditions or off-season storage.
- Cushions: The chair cushions are padded for comfort. While the wicker is weather-resistant, it is advisable to store cushions indoors during inclement weather or when not in use to prevent excessive moisture exposure and maintain their quality.
- Fasteners: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability.

6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your dining set.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Table/Chairs wobble | Loose fasteners; uneven ground. | Check and tighten all assembly screws. Adjust the skid-resistant foot mats on uneven surfaces. |
| Difficulty expanding table | Mechanism obstruction; lack of lubrication. | Ensure no debris is blocking the expansion mechanism. Gently clean and apply a silicone-based lubricant if movement is stiff. |
| Rust spots on steel frame | Prolonged exposure to moisture; damage to protective coating. | Clean affected area, gently sand if necessary, and apply rust-inhibiting paint. Ensure furniture is covered when not in use. |
| Wicker damage/fraying | Physical impact; extreme weather exposure. | Minor fraying can sometimes be trimmed. For significant damage, contact customer support for repair options or replacement parts. |
