Using this accent chair is a breeze. Just sit back and relax on the thick - padded seat. You can lean back against the tight back for a comfortable posture. The arms provide great support. When it comes to assembly, you'll need to put it together completely. Read the instructions carefully before starting. As for maintenance, wipe the upholstery with a soft, damp cloth regularly to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the fabric or the wood. Also, don't place the chair in direct sunlight for long periods to prevent color fading. Make sure not to exceed the 300 - lb weight limit to keep the chair sturdy.
