Using your Avery dining chairs is a breeze. Just place them around your dining table and start enjoying your meals. When it comes to cleaning, since they are hand washable (HW cleaning code), use a mild soap and a soft cloth to gently wipe the surfaces. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the wood finish and the paper rope. Be careful not to place heavy objects on the chairs beyond their 350 lbs weight capacity. To keep them looking their best, periodically dust the chairs with a dry cloth. If you move the chairs around, the protective leg glides will prevent scratches on your floors, but still be gentle when repositioning them. Keep the chairs indoors as they are not suitable for outdoor use.
