Using this restaurant chair is a breeze. Just place it in your desired spot, whether it's in a commercial dining area or your home. Make sure the floor is flat to ensure stability. When sitting, you'll feel the great support from the solid back and the comfortable beechwood seat. As for maintenance, keep it clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the walnut wood frame finish. Also, check the metal wood screw reinforcements and the plastic glides from time to time. If any part seems loose or worn out, replace it right away. Don't overload the chair beyond its 800 - lb capacity to maintain its longevity.
