Using your Dana Hanging Chair is a breeze. Just find a suitable spot, hang it up using the included white powder - coated steel base and chain, and you're ready to relax. When sitting, make sure to distribute your weight evenly to get the most comfortable experience. As for maintenance, the weather - resistant features of the rope and cushions mean you don't have to worry too much about normal outdoor conditions. However, in extreme weather like heavy snow or hail, it's a good idea to cover the chair or bring it indoors. Clean the rope with a mild soap and water solution, and for the cushions, follow the care instructions for the Sunbrella fabric. Check the hanging base and chain regularly for any signs of wear or damage. Also, keep in mind that the chair is made to order, so it takes about 42 days to arrive. And remember, it has a weight capacity of 325, so don't exceed that limit for safety reasons.
