Using this Keiko cane dining chair is easy. Just place it around your dining table and enjoy a comfortable seating experience. When it comes to maintenance, dust it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Don't use oiled or treated cloths on the lacquered finishes. For a quick clean, you can wipe some finishes with a damp (not wet) cloth and then dry it right away to get rid of fingerprints and smudges. If there are stubborn spots, gently clean them with a soft cloth and a mix of water and mild soap, and make sure to dry it completely. To protect the chair, use adhesive felt pads, coasters, and placemats. Also, keep in mind that the chair contains wood dust which may cause cancer, so handle it with care. Since it's from China and doesn't require assembly, you can start using it right after unboxing.
