Using these chairs is simple. Just assemble them following the included instructions, and place them in your dining area. When sitting, you'll enjoy the comfort of the 5 - inch thick seat cushion. For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the wood and fabric regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the rustic wood finish or the fabric. If there are spills on the seat cushion, clean them up immediately with a mild detergent and water. When moving the chairs, lift them gently instead of dragging to prevent scratches on the floor and damage to the chair legs. Keep the chairs away from direct sunlight for long periods to avoid color fading.
