Using this Retro Folding Dining Chair is a breeze. Just unfold it and place it where you need seating for your dining area. When it's time to store it, simply fold it up and tuck it away in a corner. As for maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the metal and wood parts regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the finish.
