Using your new colonial - style side chair is a breeze. Just place it in your desired spot, whether it's in the dining room, study, or living area. It's perfect for sitting and relaxing while reading a book or having a meal. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to dust the chair regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the finish. If there are any spills, wipe them up immediately. Since this chair has a Prop 65 warning about wood dust, keep it in a well - ventilated area, especially when moving or cleaning it to minimize your exposure to the dust.
