Using these dining chairs is a breeze. Just place them around your dining table and you're ready to host gatherings. For long - term use, avoid placing them in direct sunlight as it may fade the espresso finish over time. When it comes to cleaning, a simple wipe with a damp cloth on the faux leather upholstery will do the trick. If there are stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution. Regularly check the joints of the chairs to ensure they remain tight. Since they're made of solid wood and rubberwood, they're quite sturdy, but try not to put excessive weight on them. Also, assemble the chairs according to the included instructions for best results.
