Using your Rylee dining arm chair is super easy. Just place it around your dining table and enjoy your meals or gatherings. When sitting, make sure your weight is evenly distributed to avoid any unnecessary stress on the chair. As for the hand - woven sea grass seat, it's best to keep it away from direct water. If it gets dirty, you can use a soft brush to gently remove the dust. For the oak frame, a simple wipe with a damp cloth and then a dry one will keep it looking great. Also, try not to place the chair in direct sunlight for long periods as it might fade the natural sealed medium brown finish. And remember, the maximum weight capacity is 250 lbs, so don't overload it.
