Using this armchair is a breeze. Just sit on the bucket - style seat and use the swivel base to turn in any direction you like. It can be placed at your dining table, card table, or in any room of your house to add a touch of style. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the black leatherette regularly to keep it looking shiny. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the leatherette. For the gunmetal legs, check them occasionally to make sure they're still firmly attached. If you notice any loose parts, you can use a basic tool to tighten them up. Also, try to keep the chair away from direct sunlight for long periods as it might fade the color. With proper care, this armchair will serve you well for a long time.
