Using this hanging chair is super easy. First, make sure you have all the necessary hanging hardware and install them properly. If you're not sure, it's best to get a professional to do the installation. Once it's set up, just sit back and enjoy the relaxing swing. When using it outdoors, be aware that although the cushions are water - resistant, it's a good idea to bring them inside during heavy rain or long - term bad weather. For maintenance, clean the wicker regularly with a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Wipe the iron frame with a dry cloth to prevent rust. And if you notice any loose parts during use, tighten them up right away.
