Using your Palma side chair is a breeze. Just place it wherever you need extra seating, like around a dining table or in a living room corner. Since it's already assembled, you can start using it right away. When it comes to maintenance, make sure to regularly remove dust with a soft, dry cloth. If you notice any smudges, gently clean them with a slightly damp soft cloth and then quickly dry the chair with a dry soft cloth. When cleaning, follow the grain direction of the wood to avoid any damage. And remember, don't let liquids sit on the surface of the chair for too long. Also, be aware that the chair has a Prop 65 warning because of wood dust, so take necessary precautions during any heavy - duty cleaning or if you're making any modifications.
