Using your Christopher Knight Home® Gable Rocking Chairs is easy. Just place them in your desired outdoor spot and start rocking! When sitting, make sure you're centered on the chair to keep it balanced. For cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution and a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may damage the plastic/resin material. In extreme weather conditions like heavy snow or strong storms, it's a good idea to store the chairs indoors or cover them to prevent long - term damage. Also, check the frames regularly for any signs of wear and tear, and if you notice anything, contact the manufacturer for advice.
