Using your Pryer dining chairs is easy. Just place them around your dining table and enjoy! Remember, the weight capacity is 250 lbs, so don't overload them. When it comes to maintenance, keep the leather surfaces clean by dusting them regularly with a dry or slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using saddle soap or other cleaners as they can damage the leather. Also, since the chairs contain nickel compounds which are associated with cancer risk according to Prop 65, handle them with normal care. The chairs need to be assembled, so make sure to follow the included instructions carefully.
