Using your Shore Outdoor Patio Aluminum Dining Armchair Set is super easy. Just place the chairs in your desired spot on the patio or in the backyard. They're lightweight enough to move around for different seating arrangements during gatherings. As for the foot caps, they're there to protect your floor, so make sure they're always in place. When it comes to maintenance, a simple wipe - down with a damp cloth every now and then will keep the chairs looking great. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the anodized aluminum frame and the plastic wood paneling. If there's any debris or dirt, gently brush it off. Also, during extreme weather conditions like heavy snow or storms, it's a good idea to store the chairs indoors to extend their lifespan.
