Using this chair is simple. Just assemble it as per the instructions (it only requires minor assembly). Once assembled, place it in your desired spot in the home, like the dining room or living room. When it comes to maintenance, the fabric on the cushions has a soluble cleaning code, so you can clean it following the general rules for soluble - fabric items. Since the chair is made of solid birch, avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods as it might fade the cherry finish. Also, be aware that there's a Prop 65 warning due to wood dust which can cause cancer, so during assembly, make sure to do it in a well - ventilated area.
