Using this Gaven swivel chair is a breeze. Just sit back and enjoy the comfort it offers. You can easily swivel around to face different directions in your living room. As for maintenance, simply wipe the leather gel cover with a damp cloth when it gets dirty. Keep in mind that the product has a Prop 65 warning due to wood dust, which may cause cancer. So, try to keep the chair in a well - ventilated area. Since it doesn't require assembly, you can start using it right away. Make sure not to place heavy objects on the chair to avoid damaging the sinuous 'no sag' springs and the 2.2 density foam seat cushion.
