Troubleshooting
Bench feels unstable
Ensure the bench is placed on a completely flat and level surface. Check for any debris or unevenness beneath the base. If the ground is uneven, consider leveling the area or using appropriate shims (ensure shims are also stable).
Surface discoloration or moss growth
Light discoloration can often be removed with a soft brush and mild soapy water. For moss or algae, use a specific outdoor stone cleaner or a diluted bleach solution (1 part bleach to 10 parts water), scrubbing gently and rinsing thoroughly. Always test cleaners in an inconspicuous area first.
Difficulty moving the bench
This bench is designed to be heavy for stability. If you need to reposition it, use sliders or a furniture dolly designed for heavy objects. Ensure you have sufficient help to lift and guide it safely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Due to its significant weight (140 kg), positioning the bench is a critical step. Ensure you have adequate help to move it to its final location. Choose a firm, level surface in your garden, patio, or yard. Avoid placing it on soft or uneven ground, as this could cause instability or damage over time.
Compatibility: This bench is designed for outdoor use and is compatible with most garden environments, including lawns, patios, decks, and gravel areas (ensure gravel is compacted). It pairs well with stone, brick, or wooden garden features.
Care: Cleaning is straightforward. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dust or light dirt. For more stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. The reconstituted stone material is inherently frost and weather-resistant, meaning no special winter storage is required.
