This document provides assembly instructions and care guidelines for the VIRGINIA CAST BENCH.

Function Description:

The Virginia Cast Bench is an outdoor seating solution designed for residential use. It is a stationary bench intended to provide comfortable seating for multiple individuals. The bench features a decorative cast design for both the backrest and the seat panel, suggesting an aesthetic appeal suitable for gardens, patios, or other outdoor living spaces. The assembly process involves connecting the backrest panel, chair seat panel, and two armrests using a combination of studs, washers, spring washers, nuts, and caps. The design incorporates pre-attached leg levellers on the armrests, allowing for adjustment to ensure stability on uneven ground.

Important Technical Specifications:

The bench is assembled using specific hardware components:

• Studs: 8*30mm (9 pieces)
• Washers: 8mm (9 pieces)
• Spring Washers: 8mm (9 pieces)
• Nuts: 8mm (9 pieces)
• Caps: (9 pieces)
• Tools provided: Spanner (1 piece), Screwdriver (1 piece)

The main components of the bench are:

• Backrest Panel (A): 1 piece
• Chair Seat Panel (B): 1 piece
• Right Arm with pre-attached Leg Levellers (C): 1 piece
• Left Arm with pre-attached Leg Levellers (D): 1 piece

The assembly process requires two adults, indicating the potential weight or size of the components. The bench is explicitly stated as "NOT a TOY," emphasizing its intended use as furniture rather than a play item.

Usage Features:

• Assembly: The bench requires assembly, which is detailed in a step-by-step process. It is recommended to assemble the bench on a clean, non-marring surface (such as packing foam) and to save all packaging until assembly is complete. Two adults are recommended for the assembly process to ensure proper handling and alignment of parts. Initial tightening of fasteners should be done without overtightening, with final tightening occurring once all components are in place and the bench is upright.
• Stability: The armrests come with pre-attached leg levellers. These can be adjusted once the bench is fully assembled and placed upright, allowing the user to level the bench with the ground and ensure stability on various outdoor surfaces.
• Safety Warning: A critical warning states, "Warnings: You must read this before you proceed." This highlights the importance of following instructions for safe assembly and use. Additionally, the caution "CAUTION: This bench is NOT a TOY. Keep your child / children at bay in the process of assembly" underscores safety during the setup phase.

Maintenance Features:

The manual provides comprehensive care and maintenance guidelines to prolong the product's lifetime and maintain its appearance:

• Temperature Sensitivity:
  • Do not place hot items directly on the furniture surface to prevent damage.
  • Avoid placing the furniture near heating or cooling vents, as extreme temperature fluctuations can affect the material.
• Cleaning:
  • Do not use harsh cleansers or polish, as these can damage the finish.
  • Stains can be removed with a mild soap solution and a damp cloth.
  • For general cleaning, dust and pick up spills using a clean, non-colored, lint-free cloth.
• Sunlight Exposure:
  • To prolong product lifetime, avoid placing the furniture under direct sunlight for extended periods. Prolonged exposure can lead to fading or material degradation.
• Moisture and Weather Exposure:
  • To prolong product lifetime, avoid extended and lengthy exposure to rain and sunshine.
  • Where possible, place the bench under covers, on a patio, or under awnings to protect it from harsh weather conditions.
• Surface Protection:
  • Do not write on the furniture without a padded barrier to protect the surface from scratches or indentations.
• Intended Use:
  • The bench is for residential use only and not for commercial use, implying it is designed for typical household wear and tear rather than heavy commercial usage.

These guidelines aim to help users preserve the quality and longevity of their Virginia Cast Bench, ensuring it remains a functional and attractive piece of outdoor furniture.
