Using your Barcelona Sling Chair is a piece of cake. First, assemble it following the included instructions. Once it's set up, you can plop down and enjoy a relaxing time reading or just chilling. When it comes to cleaning, since the fabric is soluble and the cushions are detachable and reversible, you can easily remove the cushions and clean them as needed. For the metal frame, just wipe it with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep it looking shiny. Be aware that the chair has a Prop 65 warning due to Toluene Diisocyanate, which can cause cancer, so avoid any unnecessary contact with the chemical source. Also, don't expose the chair to extreme weather conditions for long periods as it might affect the durability of both the fabric and the frame. With proper use and care, your Barcelona Sling Chair will serve you well for a long time.
