Using your new outdoor chair is super easy. Since it ships fully assembled, you can just place it wherever you need seating in your outdoor area. When it comes to weight, it can hold up to 300 lbs, so make sure the users' weight is within this limit. For maintenance, cleaning is simple. Just use a water - based cleaner on the synthetic teak slats and the frame. This will keep it looking new. As for the weather, this chair is weather and rust - resistant, but it's still a good idea to store it indoors during extreme weather conditions like heavy snow or storms. The protective floor glides on the frame are there to prevent scratches on your floors, so try not to remove them. If you want to create a complete outdoor dining set, pair this chair with our outdoor patio bistro dining table with faux teak poly slats.
