Setup, Compatibility & Care
The chair comes fully assembled and ready for use immediately upon unboxing. To maintain the finish and structural integrity:
- Placement: Use on flat, level surfaces to prevent undue stress on the hinge mechanism.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the wood surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or excessive water, which can damage the plywood and finish.
- Storage: Store indoors in a dry environment. Prolonged exposure to high humidity or direct sunlight can cause wood warping or finish discoloration.
- Care: Periodically check the joints to ensure they remain free of debris, which could impede the folding mechanism.
