Using this chair is a breeze. Once you've assembled it according to the instructions, simply place it in your desired location. Whether it's in a restaurant or at home, it'll fit right in. When sitting, you'll immediately notice the comfort from the padded seat and the support from the ladder back. As for maintenance, keep it clean by wiping the vinyl seat with a mild cleaner regularly. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the powder - coated frame. Check the welded joints and plastic glides periodically to ensure they're in good condition. If you need to move the chair, lift it gently instead of dragging to protect the floor and the chair itself.
