These Levy dining chairs are great for adding a modern coastal feel to your dining area. To use them, simply assemble them as per the included instructions. They can hold up to 275 pounds, so they're suitable for most people. When it comes to maintenance, dust them regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Don't use oiled or treated cloths on the lacquered parts. If there are fingerprints or smudges, you can wipe them with a damp cloth and then dry right away. For tough spots, use a mild soap - water solution on a soft cloth and wipe dry. Remember to use felt pads, coasters, and placemats to protect the chairs from scratches and stains. Also, be aware that the wood dust from these chairs can be a cancer - causing agent, so handle them in a well - ventilated area during assembly.
