Using the Eastport Dining Chair is a breeze. Just pull it up to your dining table and sit back to enjoy your meals. When it comes to cleaning, a simple vacuuming can remove dust from the textured upholstery. For spills, use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to gently clean the 100% polyester fabric. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the fabric. As for the oyster - finished cathedral mahogany, you can dust it regularly with a dry cloth. To maintain the hardware, a soft dry cloth can also be used to keep it looking shiny. Don't place the chair in direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the fabric and the finish. With proper care, your Eastport Dining Chair will serve you well for years to come.
