Using your Kato chair is a breeze. Just place it in your modern living space and enjoy a comfortable seating experience. When sitting, make sure to distribute your weight evenly to prevent any unnecessary stress on the chair. As for maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the black leather regularly to keep it looking new. For the teak wood, you can use a mild wood cleaner occasionally. Remember, this chair has a Prop 65 warning due to wood dust, which can cause cancer. So, avoid sanding or cutting the wood yourself. Also, since it doesn't come with an anti - tip kit, place it on a flat and stable surface to prevent it from tipping over.
