Using this cute little lotus garden stool is a breeze. You can place it in your bedroom as a small side table to hold your books or in the playhouse for kids to sit on. Outdoors, it can be a great spot for a potted plant or a drink. When it comes to weight, make sure not to put more than 80 pounds on it to avoid any damage. As for maintenance, simply wipe it with a damp cloth regularly. Since it contains ceramic fibers which may be related to cancer according to Proposition 65, try to avoid breaking or chipping the ceramic to prevent fiber release. And that's all you need to know to enjoy this lovely stool.
