Using this chair is a breeze. Just place it where you need it, whether it's in your restaurant, office, or at home. It's ready to use right out of the box. When it comes to weight, it can hold up to 500 lbs, so make sure not to exceed this limit to keep it in good shape. For cleaning, you can use a mild soap and water solution. Wipe it down gently with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the clear - coated frame or the wood seat. If you need to move the chair, lift it rather than dragging it to prevent the floor protector plastic glides from getting damaged. Store the chair in a dry place to avoid rusting of the metal parts. With proper care, this chair will serve you well for a long time.
