Using this tri - fold sleeper chair is a breeze. To change its position, simply adjust the backrest to your preferred angle - upright for sitting, reclined for relaxing, or flat for sleeping. When you're done using it as a bed, fold it back into a chair. The legs can be hidden in the zippered compartments for a neat look. As for maintenance, keep it clean by using a damp cloth with a neutral cleaner. Don't use harsh chemicals as they might damage the dark gray fabric. When moving the chair, be careful as it has a solid wood frame and heavy rubber wood legs. It can hold up to 400 lbs., but avoid overloading it. And remember, since it assembles in just 10 minutes without tools, if you need to move or disassemble it, it's very convenient to do so.
