These Parker spindle dining chairs are a great addition to your dining area. To use them, simply place them around your dining table and take a seat. They're built to hold up to 225 pounds, so most people can use them comfortably. When it comes to cleaning, dust them regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Don't use oiled or treated cloths on the finish. If there are marks, you can use a damp cloth (not wet) and then dry it right away. For tough spots, a bit of mild soap and water on a soft cloth will do the trick, but remember to dry it off. To protect the chairs, use felt pads on the legs, coasters for drinks, and placemats. Also, be aware that the chairs have wood dust which can be a cancer - causing agent according to Prop 65.
