Using this Saratoga Coastal Dining Chair is a breeze. Just place it in your outdoor dining area where you want to enjoy meals or have conversations. Make sure the chair is on a flat surface to prevent it from wobbling. When using the chair, try to avoid sitting on the arms as they are mainly for resting your arms. As for maintenance, clean the teak frame regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse it thoroughly and let it dry completely. For the cushion, follow the care instructions on the fabric label. If it gets dirty, spot - clean it gently. Keep the chair away from sharp objects to prevent scratches on the teak and tears on the cushion. In harsh weather conditions like heavy rain or snow, it's a good idea to store the chair indoors or cover it with a protective cover.
