Using these dining chairs is super easy. Just place them around your dining table and you're ready to use them. When sitting, you can lean back on the X - shaped back for extra comfort. As for cleaning, you can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the washed - white finish. If there are any spills, clean them up right away. Also, try not to place heavy objects on the chairs to prevent damage to the tapered block legs. This will help keep your chairs in great condition for a long time.
