Using this chair is easy. Just assemble it following the instructions provided. Once assembled, place it in your dining area, whether it's a restaurant or your home. Make sure to use it within the 500 - lb weight capacity to avoid any damage. When it comes to maintenance, wipe the metal frame with a damp cloth regularly to keep it clean. For the walnut seat, use a mild wood cleaner to maintain its finish. Avoid using abrasive cleaners on both the frame and the seat. If you move the chair around, the plastic glides will protect your floors. Keep an eye on the assembly parts and tighten any loose screws periodically to ensure stability.
