Using these patio chairs is a breeze. Just unfold them and place them wherever you need seating, whether it's on your patio, deck, by the pool, or in the garden. They're also great for taking to sporting events or camping trips because they're easy to carry. When it comes to weight, they can hold up to 352 lbs, so most people can use them comfortably. Make sure to place them on a flat surface to avoid any tipping. As for maintenance, you can wipe the gray Textilene fabric with a damp cloth to keep it clean. If the chairs get dirty, you can use a mild soap solution. The 19-gauge black powder-coated steel frame is quite durable, but try to avoid scratching it to keep its protective coating intact. When not in use, you can fold them up and store them in a dry place to extend their lifespan.
