Using these Adirondack chairs is a breeze. Just assemble them quickly and easily following the instructions. Place them on your deck, porch, or patio to enjoy the outdoor scenery. When it comes to maintenance, the chairs are very low - maintenance. You can clean them with water and a neutral detergent. For the cushions, you can wipe the covers with a damp cloth. If they get really dirty, remove the covers using the zipper and hand - wash them, then let them air dry. The rear elastic straps will help keep the cushions in place, but make sure to check them occasionally. Also, keep in mind that the chairs can hold up to 350 lbs of static weight, so don't overload them. Since they won't rot, peel, or chip and don't need sanding or painting, you don't have to worry about major repairs. Enjoy these chairs for years to come in your outdoor space.
