Using this chair is easy - just place it where you need it, either indoors or outdoors. Since it doesn't require assembly, you can start using it right away. When stacking, remember not to stack more than 5 chairs high to keep them stable. The fixed floor glides are there to protect your indoor floors, so make sure they're in good condition. As for maintenance, a simple wipe with a damp cloth will keep it clean. This chair can hold up to 400 lbs., but don't overload it to ensure its long - term durability. Store it in a dry place if possible, especially during harsh weather, to prevent any potential damage to the rattan or frame.
