Using this chair is a breeze. Just place it where you need it in your dining area, whether at a restaurant or home. When sitting, the curved support bar will give you extra comfort. For safety, don't exceed the 500 lb. weight capacity. To keep the chair in good shape, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the black powder - coated frame or the mahogany wood finish. If there are any spills on the seat, wipe them up immediately. Also, check the welded joints and plastic glides from time to time. If a glide is worn out, replace it to prevent scratches on your floors.
