About this piece

The listed seating surfaces are fabric or vinyl. Its further listed features are a stated capacity limit of 500 lb and a listed individual weight of 15 lb.

Allow about 24 inches along the table for each guest, and inspect the chair position with someone seated. The guest's route out should remain open. Care should follow the materials at the seat and surface. Mild soap with water suits vinyl cleaning; finish by drying and keep harsh solvents and bleach away. Vacuum the fabric and blot a spill promptly. Its cleaning code governs the cleaner used afterwards.

Save the configuration with its quantity so the seating plan retains the exact choice. Settle the upholstery early enough to allow the additional build time.
