Using your Shelton chair is straightforward. Just place it at your dining table and enjoy a comfortable seating experience. When it comes to assembly, all the necessary tools and instructions are provided. Simply follow the steps, and you'll have your chair ready in no time. As for maintenance, keep it clean by dusting regularly or spot cleaning with a damp cloth. Make sure to dry it immediately after cleaning. Also, be aware that the chair contains wood dust which is a Prop 65 chemical associated with cancer. Avoid sitting on the chair if you exceed the 220 lbs weight capacity to prevent damage. And remember, your chair comes with a one-year manufacturer warranty, so if you have any issues, reach out to the manufacturer.
