To use this vintage chair, simply sit on it like you would any other chair. It's perfect for relaxing in your study, dining area, or as an accent piece. When it comes to maintenance, keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent the wood from fading. Wipe it down regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the wood. If the scratches bother you, you can use a light wood polish to minimize their appearance. Just be gentle when applying it to preserve the chair's original look.
