Using this chair is a breeze. Just place it in your kitchen or dining room where you'd like to sit and enjoy your meals or conversations. When you sit on it, the comfortable tufted seat and backrest will make you feel relaxed. As for maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to dust it regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the weathered finish and the stitching. If there are any spills, clean them up right away with a mild soap and water solution. Also, try to keep the chair away from direct sunlight for long periods, as this can fade the finish. With proper care, this chair will serve you well for a long time.
