Using your Duchess Dining Chairs is easy. Just assemble them following the included instructions. Once assembled, place them around your dining table. They can hold up to 286 lbs, so everyone can sit comfortably. When it comes to maintenance, simply wipe the vinyl upholstery with a damp cloth to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the vinyl. The non - marking foot caps protect your floors, but still be careful when moving the chairs to prevent scratches. If you need to move the chairs frequently, it's a good idea to lift them instead of dragging. And remember, since the chairs require assembly, make sure all parts are tightly secured for safety.
