Using these dining chairs is a breeze. Just assemble them as per the instructions and place them on your patio or in the garden. When sitting, you'll enjoy the comfort of the water - resistant cushions. Remember, these chairs require assembly, so take your time to put them together correctly. As for maintenance, keep the chairs dry as much as possible. If the cushions get dirty, spot - clean them with a mild detergent and water. In case of heavy rain or snow, it's a good idea to cover the chairs to protect them from the elements. Also, make sure not to exceed the 400 - lb weight capacity to ensure the chairs' longevity.
