Using your Lanier dining chairs is a breeze. Just place them around your dining table and start enjoying your meals. When it comes to assembly, follow the included instructions carefully as it's a requirement. Make sure all parts are tightened properly for safety. For maintenance, spot clean the chairs regularly to keep the grey polyester fabric looking fresh. Since the chairs are made with natural materials like oak, expect some natural variations in color, pattern, grain, and texture. Don't worry, these variations are normal and add to the uniqueness of your chairs. Avoid placing the chairs in direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the fabric and affect the wood finish. If you have any questions about secondary upholstery, frames, or legs, you can request the details as mentioned in the product features.
