Using these side chairs is a breeze. Just place them around your dining table, and you're ready to enjoy your meals. When sitting, make sure to sit back and relax on the padded leatherette cushions for maximum comfort. As for maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the chairs regularly to keep them clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the faux leather. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately with a mild soap and water solution. Also, try not to place heavy objects on the chairs for an extended period to maintain their shape. With proper care, these chairs will serve you well for a long time.
