Using these chairs is a breeze. Just place them in your desired indoor or outdoor location. They're great for dining, relaxing, or entertaining guests. When it comes to cleaning, the zippered covers on the seat cushions can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. If they're really dirty, you can hand wash them and let them air dry. As for the chairs themselves, a simple wipe-down with a clean cloth will keep them looking good. Be sure to avoid dragging the chairs across rough surfaces to prevent damage to the wicker and the frame. Also, don't overload the chairs; they're designed to hold up to 350 lbs of static weight. In bad weather, you can stack them up easily and store them in a dry place to protect them from the elements and extend their lifespan.
