Using this chair is easy. Just assemble it following the included instructions. Once it's set up, you can place it in your dining area. For commercial use, it can handle a lot of traffic due to its 500 lb capacity. When sitting on it, enjoy the comfort of the walnut - finished seat. As for maintenance, keep it clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth regularly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may damage the black powder - coated frame or the walnut seat. Also, check the welded joints and the curved support bar occasionally to make sure they are in good condition. If you move the chair, use the floor protector plastic glides to prevent scratches on the floor.
