Using this chair is a breeze. Just place it wherever you need seating, whether it's indoors at your bistro or outdoors on your patio. Since it doesn't require assembly, you can start using it right away. When it comes to weight, make sure not to exceed the 400 - lb static weight capacity to keep the chair in good condition. If you want to stack the chairs, follow the recommendation of stacking them no more than 5 high to prevent any instability. For cleaning, simply grab a damp cloth and wipe the chair. This will remove most dirt and keep it looking its best. To maintain the chair's durability, try to keep it out of extreme weather conditions for long periods. Also, check the floor glides periodically to make sure they're still in place and protecting your floors.
