Using these Sara ladder back dining chairs is a breeze. Just place them around your dining table and enjoy a comfortable meal. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the wood or the cushion. If there are spills on the cushion, gently blot them with a clean, damp cloth. For long - term use, don't place heavy objects on the chairs beyond the 250 lbs weight capacity. Also, try to keep the chairs away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity to prevent warping of the wood. When moving the chairs, lift them instead of dragging to avoid scratches on the floor and damage to the chair legs.
