Using these chairs is simple. Just place them in your outdoor area where you want to relax. Make sure the cushions are secured with the banding rope. When it rains, if possible, move the chairs under a shelter to protect the cushions as they are water - repellent but not fully water - resistant. For cleaning, you can wipe the acacia wood frame with a damp cloth. To clean the cushions, unzip the covers and follow the care instructions on them. If you need to replace the cushions, the zippered design makes it easy. Keep the chairs away from sharp objects to avoid scratching the wood or damaging the mesh. Periodically check the Textilene mesh for any signs of wear and tear. With proper care, these chairs will serve you well for a long time.
