Using these chairs is a piece of cake. Just take them out of the box and place them wherever you want to dine, whether it's outside on the patio or inside the dining room. They're great for having friends over or just enjoying a meal alone. When it comes to storage, stack them up to 4 high and they won't take up much space. As for cleaning, simply grab a damp cloth and wipe them down. That'll keep them looking fresh. Make sure not to put more than 350 lbs on one chair, as the frame is designed to hold that much static weight. Also, even though the wicker is fade and weather - resistant, if you're leaving them outside for a long time during harsh weather, it's a good idea to cover them up. With these simple tips, you can enjoy your chairs for a long time.
