Using this chair is a breeze. You can place it indoors or outdoors right away as it doesn't need any assembly. Whether you're setting up a patio, a bistro, or an indoor dining area, this chair fits in perfectly. When stacking, make sure not to stack more than 5 chairs high to keep the stack stable. For indoor use, the fixed floor glides will protect your floors, so you don't have to worry about scratches. In terms of maintenance, it's super easy. Just grab a damp cloth and wipe the chair clean whenever it gets dirty. Also, since the metal frame won't rust, you don't have to fret about leaving it outside in a bit of rain. But try to avoid leaving it in standing water for long periods. And remember, it can hold up to 400 LBS of static weight, so stay within that limit for safety.
