Using these chairs is easy. Just place them around your dining table and start enjoying your meals. When sitting, make sure to position yourself properly on the 16 - inch deep seat for maximum comfort. As for maintenance, wipe the leatherette surface with a soft, damp cloth regularly to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the leatherette. Also, don't place the chairs in direct sunlight for long periods to prevent color fading. If you move the chairs, lift them instead of dragging to avoid scratching the floor and the chair legs.
