Using these Pembrooke side chairs is a breeze. Just place them in your contemporary home where you need extra seating. They're great for dining areas or as accent chairs. When it comes to weight, they can hold up to 275 lbs, so most people can use them comfortably. To keep your chairs in top - notch condition, dust them regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Stay away from oiled or treated cloths on the lacquered parts. If there are fingerprints or smudges, you can use a damp cloth (not wet) and then dry it right away. For really tough spots, a little bit of mild soap and water on a soft cloth will do the trick, but remember to dry it thoroughly. To protect the surface, use adhesive felt pads under the legs, and always use coasters and placemats when you put things on the chairs. These chairs are made in Indonesia and are a great addition to your home.
