Using this chair is easy. Just place it in your desired spot in your living area and sit back to enjoy. When it comes to maintenance, you can wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the teak wood and rope. Since there's a Prop 65 warning due to wood dust, be careful when moving or handling the chair to minimize dust exposure. Also, as it doesn't come with an anti - tip kit, make sure to place it on a stable surface to prevent it from tipping over.
