Using your Resurrection chair is as easy as taking a seat! Just find a nice, flat spot in your room, and you're ready to relax. When sitting, make sure you distribute your weight evenly to avoid any unnecessary stress on the chair. As for maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the mahogany surface regularly. This will keep the hand - rubbed black finish looking shiny. For the grey fabric, a gentle vacuum can help remove dust. Be aware that there's a Prop 65 warning due to wood dust, which can cause cancer. So, try to keep the chair in a well - ventilated area. Also, since it doesn't come with an anti - tip kit, place it away from high - traffic areas where it could be accidentally knocked over.
