Using this side chair is a breeze. Just place it where you want in your home, and you're ready to enjoy a comfortable sit. Since it doesn't require assembly, you can start using it right away. When it comes to maintenance, keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent the fabric from fading. You can clean the seat fabric with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. For the solid ash wood frame, dust it regularly with a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals on either the fabric or the frame, as this could damage them. Also, don't place heavy objects on the chair that could exceed its weight - bearing capacity.
