3. Assembly Instructions
The Keter Nora garden set features a click-mechanism for quick and straightforward assembly. While designed for ease, it is recommended to have assistance during assembly to ensure proper alignment and prevent damage.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Verify that all components are present and undamaged against the packing list (if provided).
- Identify Parts: Familiarize yourself with the different sections of the seating units (seat bases, backrests, armrests) and the storage table.
- Assemble Seating Units:
- Align the designated slots and tabs of the seat bases, backrests, and armrests.
- Press firmly until you hear a "click" sound, indicating the parts are securely locked.
- Repeat for all seating units. Ensure all connections are tight and stable.
- Assemble Storage Table:
- Connect the side panels and base of the storage table using the click mechanism.
- Place the lid securely on top.
- Place Cushions: Once all units are assembled, place the cushions onto the seating surfaces.
Important: Do not force parts together. If a connection is difficult, re-check alignment. Incorrect assembly can lead to instability or damage.
4. Operating and Configuration
The Keter Nora set offers flexibility in its arrangement to suit your outdoor space.
Seating Configurations:
- Option 1 (3+1): One 3-seater sofa and one single armchair. This configuration provides a larger central seating area.
- Option 2 (2+2): Two 2-seater sofas. This allows for more distinct seating zones.
Arrange the individual seating units as desired. The lightweight design allows for easy repositioning.

5. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Keter Nora garden set.
- Cleaning: Clean the resin surfaces with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or stiff brushes, as these can damage the material.
- Cushion Care: The cushions are designed for outdoor use but should be stored in a dry place during heavy rain or prolonged periods of non-use to prevent mildew and fading. Clean cushions according to their specific care labels.
- Sun Exposure: While the set is UV-resistant, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight over many years can still cause some fading. Consider using covers or placing the set in shaded areas when not in use for extended periods.
- Sharp Objects: Avoid placing sharp objects directly on the resin surfaces to prevent scratches or punctures.
- Winter Storage: In colder climates, it is advisable to store the furniture indoors or cover it with protective outdoor furniture covers during winter months to prevent damage from freezing temperatures and snow.
6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your garden set.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Difficulty during assembly | Parts not aligned correctly; insufficient force applied for click mechanism. | Ensure parts are perfectly aligned before applying pressure. Use firm, even pressure until a click is heard. Refer to the assembly steps. Consider having a second person assist. |
| Wobbly seating unit | Connections not fully engaged; uneven ground. | Check all click-mechanism connections to ensure they are fully locked. Move the unit to a flat, even surface. |
| Fading color | Prolonged, intense direct sunlight exposure. | While UV-resistant, extreme conditions over time can cause some fading. Consider using a protective cover or relocating the set to a shaded area during peak sun hours. |
| Cushions getting wet/mildew | Left outdoors during rain or high humidity. | Store cushions in a dry place when not in use or during inclement weather. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew. |
