Using this outdoor chair is easy. Just place it in your desired outdoor spot and enjoy sitting on it. Make sure not to exceed the weight capacity of 265 lbs. When it gets dirty, you can clean the removable seat cushion easily. The chair is water and stain resistant, but it's still a good idea to use the included furniture cover when it's not in use to protect it from the elements. Store it in a dry place during harsh weather conditions. Check the frame and ropes regularly for any signs of wear and tear.
