Using your new barstools is a breeze. Just place them in your desired outdoor location, whether it's by the patio bar or at the dining area. Once you've assembled them, you're ready to enjoy sitting on them during your outdoor gatherings. When it comes to maintenance, wipe the stools with a damp cloth regularly to keep them clean. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for long periods as it might fade the color. If there's a lot of dirt, use a mild soap and water solution. Also, make sure to assemble the stools properly according to the instructions to ensure their stability and to avoid any accidents. And always keep in mind the 400 lbs weight capacity to prevent overloading the stools.
