Using this garden chair is easy. Just place it in your desired spot in the garden. When sitting, make sure you sit evenly on the seat to avoid any imbalance. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place during rainy seasons. You can wipe the wooden slats with a damp cloth occasionally to keep them clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the metal legs as it may damage the finish. If you notice any loose parts, tighten them with a simple wrench.
