Using the Sondra Dining Chair is a breeze. Just pull it out from the table using the casters for smooth movement and sit comfortably. When you're done, push it back in. As for maintenance, it's simple. Most messes on the Oatmeal Performance Fabric can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the fabric's protective coating. When moving the chair, do it gently to prevent any damage to the casters. And remember, this fabric is UV - resistant, but try not to expose it to direct sunlight for extended periods to keep its color looking fresh.
