Using this chair is easy. Just find a suitable spot in your room and place it there. You can sit on it comfortably for long periods. However, be aware of the Prop 65 warning due to wood dust which can cause cancer. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the teak wood and the black cotton upholstery. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the finish and fabric. Keep it away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent fading of the black cotton. Also, since it doesn't come with an anti - tip kit, make sure to place it on a stable surface.
