Please observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury and damage to the product:

• Read All Instructions: Ensure you understand all assembly and usage instructions before beginning.
• Adult Assembly Required: Assembly should be performed by at least two adults.
• Use on Level Surface: Always place the assembled furniture on a firm, level surface to prevent tipping.
• Weight Limits: Do not exceed the recommended weight limits for the chairs and table. (Specific weight limits are not provided, use with reasonable care).
• Inspect Regularly: Periodically check all bolts and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary.
• Weather Protection: While designed for outdoor use, extreme weather conditions (high winds, heavy snow) may require securing or storing the furniture to prevent damage or injury.
• Avoid Sharp Objects: Do not use sharp objects on the furniture surfaces to prevent scratches or damage.

4. Setup and Assembly

Detailed assembly instructions and diagrams are typically included with the product's hardware kit. The following are general steps for assembly:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Lay them out on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratching.
2. Identify Parts: Refer to the parts list and diagrams provided in your specific assembly guide to identify each component.
3. Initial Assembly: Begin assembling the table and chairs according to the step-by-step instructions. For initial connections, hand-tighten bolts only.
4. Final Tightening: Once all components are loosely assembled and the furniture is standing on a level surface, gradually tighten all bolts using the provided Allen wrench or appropriate tools. Ensure all connections are secure but do not overtighten.

5. Operating and Usage

Your Darlee Elisabeth Patio Bar Set is designed for outdoor dining and relaxation. The counter-height design is ideal for casual gatherings.

• Placement: Position the bar set in your desired outdoor area, ensuring it is on a stable and level surface.
• Umbrella Hole: The bar table features a central umbrella hole, allowing you to add a patio umbrella (not included) for shade during sunny days. Ensure the umbrella base is stable and appropriate for the umbrella size.
• Cushion Use: The sesame polyester cushions provide added comfort. While moisture-resistant, it is recommended to store cushions indoors during heavy rain or prolonged periods of non-use to extend their lifespan.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your patio bar set.

• Frame Cleaning: Wipe the cast aluminum frames with a dry cloth regularly to remove dust and debris. For deeper cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth using mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry completely to prevent water spots.
• Cushion Care: The sesame polyester cushions are moisture resistant. Spot clean with a mild soap solution and a soft brush. For more stubborn stains, follow the care instructions on the cushion tag. Allow cushions to air dry completely before storing or replacing.
• Rust Prevention: The cast aluminum frames are rust-resistant and feature an antique bronze powder coating. While highly durable, avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• Winter Storage: In colder climates or during extended periods of non-use, it is recommended to cover the furniture with a protective cover or store it in a dry, sheltered area to protect it from harsh elements.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:

• Wobbling Table/Chairs:
  • Ensure the furniture is placed on a completely level surface.
  • Check all assembly bolts and fasteners. Loosen slightly, adjust the furniture to sit evenly, then retighten all bolts firmly.
• Fading or Discoloration:
  • Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause some fading over time. Consider using a patio umbrella or protective covers when not in use.
• Minor Scratches on Frame:
  • Small scratches on the powder-coated finish can often be touched up with a matching outdoor furniture paint, if available from the manufacturer.
