Using this chair is super easy. Just place it wherever you need a seat, like in your restaurant or at home. When sitting, make sure to distribute your weight evenly on the seat for maximum comfort. As for maintenance, keep it clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the mahogany wood finish. If there are any spills, clean them up right away to prevent stains. When moving the chair, lift it gently instead of dragging it to protect the floor protector plastic glides. And remember, although it has an 800 lb. weight capacity, try not to overload it to ensure its long - term durability.
