Using your Leandro ladderback chair is simple. Just place it where you need seating, like in your dining area or study. When sitting, make sure to distribute your weight evenly to avoid unnecessary stress on the chair. For maintenance, regularly dust the chair with a soft, dry cloth to keep the charcoal black finish looking great. Since the seat is made of black cotton, you can spot - clean any stains with a mild detergent and water. Remember, this chair has a Prop 65 warning because of wood dust, so keep it in a well - ventilated area. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the finish and fabric. Also, don't place heavy objects on the chair that could cause it to break or lose its shape.
