Using these wedding arches is a breeze. First, take out the stands and accessories from the package. Since the screws are already attached to the stands, you just need to use the included screwdriver to assemble them according to the instruction manual. Once assembled, you can place them wherever you need for your event, like a wedding, party, or baby shower. They're free - standing, so you don't have to worry about additional support. Just make sure the surface is flat. When it comes to weight, each stand can hold 10 to 15 pounds, so don't overload them with heavy decorations. After use, you can easily disassemble them for storage. To keep them in good condition, store them in a dry place to prevent rusting, as they're made of metal. Also, clean them gently with a dry cloth if they get dirty.
