Using this hand - carved teak chair is a breeze. Just sit back and relax in its unique, comfortable embrace. When you're not using it, try to place it in a dry and well - ventilated area to avoid any potential damage from moisture. For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the clear coat finish. Be aware that there is a Prop 65 warning due to wood dust, which may cause cancer. So, if you notice any loose wood particles, handle them carefully. Also, since the chair is quite heavy at 118 lbs, make sure to place it on a sturdy surface to prevent any accidents.
