Using these chairs is easy. Just pull them up to your counter or kitchen island and sit down comfortably. When having a meal or chatting with friends, the 26 - inch seat height will support you well. For cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface of the chairs regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the MDF board seat frame. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately to prevent stains. Store the chairs in a dry place to avoid warping of the MDF board. With proper care, these chairs will serve you for a long time and keep adding a rustic charm to your dining area.
