Using this barstool is a breeze. Just unfold it and place it wherever you need seating, whether it's in your outdoor patio or indoor bar area. It doesn't require any assembly, so you can start using it right away. When not in use, simply fold it up for easy storage. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place if possible to prevent the wood from warping. Wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth regularly to keep it looking its best. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they may damage the teak finish. If you're using it outdoors, try to protect it from extreme weather conditions to ensure its long - term durability.
