Using your Elmira Rattan Dining Chairs is easy. Just place them around your dining table and enjoy a stylish dining experience. When sitting, make sure not to exceed the weight capacity of 176 lbs to avoid any damage. To clean the chairs, use a soft, dry cloth to dust the rattan regularly. If there are stubborn stains, you can use a mild soap and water solution, but be careful not to soak the rattan as it may cause damage. Keep the chairs away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent the color from fading. Also, be aware that the wood dust in the product is a Prop 65 chemical linked to cancer, so handle the chairs in a well - ventilated area.
