Using this chair is easy. Once you've assembled it according to the instructions, just place it in your desired dining area. Whether it's a busy restaurant or your home dining room, it'll fit right in. When sitting on it, rest assured that it can hold up to 500 lbs. For maintenance, wipe it down regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may damage the black powder - coat finish. The plastic glides on the legs are there to protect your floors, so make sure they're in good condition. If you need to move the chair, lift it instead of dragging to prevent floor scratches. When not in use, store it in a dry place to keep it in good shape.
