Using this teak relax chair is a breeze. Just sit back and relax! Make sure to place it on a flat surface to ensure stability. Since it has no anti - tip kit, avoid rocking it too vigorously. As for maintenance, clean the rattan seat with a soft, damp cloth regularly. The teak wood can be treated with a teak oil every few months to keep it looking its best. Be aware that there's a Prop 65 warning due to wood dust, which can cause cancer. So, if you're doing any heavy cleaning or if there's visible dust, it's a good idea to wear a mask.
