Using your new convertible chair is a breeze. To convert it for sleeping or resting, simply pull it gently until it lies flat. When you're done, push it back to its chair position. The storage compartment is great for keeping small items like blankets or magazines. Just open it up and place your things inside. As for assembly, you'll only need to do partial assembly. Follow the instructions carefully, and you'll have it set up in no time. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the microfiber upholstery regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the material. Also, don't place the chair in direct sunlight for long periods as it could fade the color. This chair is for home use only, not for commercial settings. Remember, it can hold up to 300 lbs, so make sure not to overload it.
