Aluminum frames, bases, and tops are easily maintained but should be handled with care like any other fine furniture because of their custom artisan finishes. They should be cleaned with a solution of mild soap and water. For additional protection, a premium quality automotive wax may be applied. When storing furniture, drain any water that may have accumulated in the frame. This may require turning the frame upside down or on its side. Failure to drain standing water may result in freeze damage, which is not covered by the warranty.
