Using this vintage bentwood captain's chair is a breeze. Just pull it up to your table or wherever you want to sit, and enjoy the comfortable seating. When it comes to cleaning, you can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the wood's finish. For long - term storage, keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the wood from warping or fading. Also, be gentle when moving the chair to avoid any accidental scratches or dents.
