To use this chair, simply assemble it following the included instructions. Once assembled, place it in your outdoor area. When not in use, it's a good idea to cover the chair to protect it from the elements. The cushions are water-resistant, but don't submerge them in water. For cleaning, use a mild soap and water on the cushions and a damp cloth on the acacia wood frame. This will help keep your chair looking great for a long time.
