Using these Christopher Knight Home® Gessling Farmhouse Dining Chairs is easy. Just place them around your dining table and you're ready to enjoy meals and conversations. When sitting on them, make sure to distribute your weight evenly to avoid any unnecessary stress on the frame. As for maintenance, wipe the chairs with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep them clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they might damage the Dark Brown and Black finish. If there are any spills, clean them up right away. Also, try to keep the chairs away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent the color from fading. With proper care, these chairs will serve you well for years.
