Using this pillow is super easy. You can place it on your indoor sofa, chair, or outdoor patio furniture right out of the box as no assembly is needed. For the best look, you can use it on its own or mix it with other pillows and decor accessories. When it comes to maintenance, since it's water - resistant, a light wipe with a damp cloth should do the trick for most spills. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the UV - protected polyester material. Also, keep it away from direct sunlight for extended periods to maintain its color vibrancy. Although it's suitable for outdoor use, it's a good idea to bring it indoors during extreme weather conditions to ensure its longevity.
