FRANKLIN Franklin Dining Bench, Grey Concrete Effect & Black Steel

Upholstery and appearance

1. Every effort has been made to ensure each piece of furniture matches
2. Upholstery can have variation in colour and finish – this is a natural characteristic of the material and not a fault
3. If the upholstery is creased on delivery, allow it to settle at room temperature
4. Creasing in seats and back cushions may appear over time – this is a natural characteristic of the material and not a fault
5. Upholstery can have a pile in the weave and look different from various angles and lighting – this is a natural characteristic of the material and not a fault

Cleaning your furniture

1. Do not use household cleaning products, bleaches, solvent based cleaners, detergents, corrosives, scourers or abrasives, which can damage surfaces and upholstery
2. Dust and vacuum your furniture on a weekly basis with the appropriate upholstery attachment
3. Use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water to remove dirt or body oils
4. For tougher stains, use a soft cloth with a little non-alkaline, non-detergent soap

Caring for your furniture

1. Remove spills immediately – do not rub stains and spills, blot them first
2. Avoid placing damp clothing, wet towels or printed newspapers directly on the upholstery
3. Avoid placing hot cups or plates directly onto the furniture as this can damage the upholstery
4. Avoid strong sunlight (such as through patio doors and windows), as this can cause discolouration, fading or surface degradation over time
5. Avoid strong sunlight on chrome finishes as this can magnify the heat of the sun
6. Avoid sitting on the edge of the cushions as this can cause distortion or permanent wear
7. Do not sit on the arms
8. Avoid sharp objects such as studs, buckles, jewellery, heels, toys or a pet’s claws on the upholstery as this can cause damage
9. Greasy and oily hair products can damage upholstery
10. Light-coloured upholstery can be at risk of discolouration due to dye transfer from dark or strong-coloured clothing, cushions and throws

4. Do not use the bench unless all the bolts and screws are fully tightened
5. Regularly tighten the bolts to avoid damage and maintain stability and strength
