Using this chair is easy - just place it where you need extra seating in your room. When sitting, make sure to distribute your weight evenly to avoid putting too much pressure on one side. As for maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the wooden back and metal frame regularly. For the green cotton upholstery, vacuum it gently every few weeks to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the chair as they could damage the fabric and finish.
