Using these chairs is easy. Just place them on a flat outdoor surface like a patio or deck and enjoy your meals. When you're done, you can leave them outside if the weather is nice. But if it's going to rain or snow, it's best to move them indoors or cover them to protect the cushions and the frame. For maintenance, clean the teak wood frame with a mild soap and water solution every few months. Wipe the twisted faux rattan part gently with a damp cloth. Don't use harsh chemicals as they might damage the materials. Also, fluff up the feather - blend cushions regularly to keep them comfortable.
