Using these dining chairs is a breeze. Just place them around your dining table and enjoy. When sitting, make sure to distribute your weight evenly to ensure the chair's stability. As for cleaning, you can use a mild fabric cleaner to remove any stains on the seat. For the walnut - finished legs and frame, a simple dusting with a dry cloth regularly will keep them looking great. Avoid placing the chairs in direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the fabric color. Also, don't exceed the weight capacity of 220 lbs per chair to prevent any damage.
