Using your Tommy Bahama Home Alderman Upholstered Dining Chair is a breeze. Just pull it up to your dining table and enjoy your meals. For everyday use, it's suitable for long - term sitting, thanks to its comfortable upholstered back and seat. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the Knotty Oak veneers. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the wood as they can damage the finish. For the Ellerston fabric, vacuum it regularly to remove dust. If there are stains, spot - clean them with a mild detergent and water. Make sure to dry the fabric thoroughly to prevent mold. Also, try to keep the chair away from direct sunlight for long periods, as it may fade the fabric and the wood finish. With these simple steps, your chair will stay in great condition for years to come.
