Using these Adira dining chairs is easy. Just place them around your dining table or wherever you need extra seating. When sitting, make sure not to exceed the 275 - lb weight capacity to keep the chairs in good condition. As for maintenance, regularly dust the rattan and wood parts with a soft cloth. If there are any stains on the rattan, you can gently clean them with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid placing the chairs in direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the natural color of the wood and rattan. Also, be careful around the wood dust; it's a Prop 65 chemical linked to cancer, so when moving or cleaning the chairs, try to minimize the amount of dust that gets into the air.
