Using these counter chairs is simple. Just place them around your dining table or wherever you need extra seating. When sitting, rest your feet on the stretcher for added comfort. As for maintenance, regularly dust the chairs with a soft cloth to keep them clean. If there are any spills on the fabric seat, gently blot them with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the wood or the fabric. Also, keep in mind that these chairs have a Prop65 warning because of formaldehyde. So, make sure to use them in a well - ventilated area. And when moving the chairs, lift them instead of dragging to prevent scratches on the floor and damage to the legs.
