Using your Milano Hanging Chair is easy. Just hang it up using the included Slate Powder Coated Steel Hanging Base and chain, and you're ready to relax. When sitting, make sure to distribute your weight evenly on the seat and back cushions for maximum comfort. For cleaning, you can wipe the frame with a damp cloth. The weather - resistant rope and cushions can withstand normal outdoor conditions, but it's a good idea to cover the chair during extreme weather to extend its lifespan. If you order custom cushions, keep in mind the 4 - week lead time. Also, make sure not to exceed the 325 - pound weight capacity to avoid any damage to the chair.
