Using this gaming chair is super easy. First, adjust the height of the chair using the pneumatic height adjustment lever until you're comfortable. You can then set the tilt tension with the adjustment knob according to how much resistance you like when leaning back. The tilt lock mechanism allows you to either rock and tilt freely or lock the chair in an upright position. When you're not using the padded arms, simply flip them up to save space. As for maintenance, use a soft, damp cloth to clean the LeatherSoft upholstery regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the material. Also, check the 5 - star nylon base and the transparent steel - framed roller wheels from time to time to make sure they're in good condition. If you notice any loose parts, tighten them up right away. And keep in mind that the description might cover features of other variants, so always double - check if you have a different pattern or shape.
