Using your Thorne Side Chair is easy. Just place it around your dining table and enjoy a comfortable seating experience. When sitting, make sure to distribute your weight evenly to avoid putting too much pressure on one side. As for maintenance, vacuum the blue wrinkled linen regularly to keep it clean. For any spills, quickly blot the area with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the oak finish as it may damage the distressed look. Also, be careful with sharp objects around the chair to prevent scratching the linen or the wood. If you need to move the chair, lift it gently instead of dragging it to avoid any damage to the legs.
