Using your Carolyn Dining Chair is super easy. Just place it around your dining table, and you're ready to enjoy your meals. When sitting, lean back against the contoured backrest for maximum comfort. For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the oatmeal fabric regularly to keep it looking fresh. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they might damage the fabric. For the matte black metal frame, you can use a damp cloth to clean it, but make sure to dry it thoroughly to prevent rusting. Don't place the chair in direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the fabric. Also, try not to put excessive weight on the chair to maintain its structural integrity.
