Using your Shigeru chair is easy. Just place it in your desired modern space and enjoy sitting on it. When sitting, make sure your weight is evenly distributed to avoid any stress on one side. As for maintenance, simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep the clear coat finish looking great. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the wood. Be aware that the chair has a Prop 65 warning because of wood dust, so try to keep it in a well - ventilated area to minimize exposure. And since it doesn't have an anti - tip kit, place it on a flat and stable surface to prevent it from tipping over.
