Using your Arise Vintage French Dining Side Chair is a breeze. Just place it at your dining table or as an accent piece in your room. When sitting, make sure your weight is evenly distributed to get the most comfort and to avoid putting too much stress on one side of the chair. The chair can support up to 331 pounds, so stay within this limit. For cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the polyester fabric upholstery. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the fabric. As for the fluted solid wood frame, you can dust it regularly with a dry cloth. The foot pads are there to protect your floors, so check them from time to time to make sure they're in good condition. If they're worn out, you can replace them easily. Keep the chair away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent the fabric from fading. With proper care, your Arise chair will serve you well for years.
