Using this rattan round patio chair is a breeze. Just place it on a flat outdoor surface like your patio or garden. When sitting, make sure to sit in the center to distribute your weight evenly. As for maintenance, keep it away from sharp objects to avoid damaging the rattan. If it gets dirty, you can use a soft - bristle brush and mild soapy water to gently clean it. Then let it dry thoroughly in the shade. In case of bad weather, it's a good idea to store the chair indoors or cover it with a waterproof cover to extend its lifespan.
