Using these side chairs is a breeze. Just assemble them as per the simple instructions, and they're ready to use in your dining area. When sitting, enjoy the comfort of the black faux - leather upholstered seat. As for maintenance, since the fabric is 100% polyester with a cleaning code of X, you can only vacuum or brush it to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they might damage the faux leather or the dark oak finish. When moving the chairs, lift them instead of dragging to prevent scratches on the floor. Also, keep them away from direct sunlight for long periods to avoid fading of the color. With proper care, these chairs will serve you well for years to come.
