Using these stools is easy. Just assemble them following the included instructions. You can place them in your backyard for outdoor relaxation or in your living room for a trendy seating option. When it comes to maintenance, since the cushion fabric is water - resistant, a simple wipe with a damp cloth can keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the fabric. For the iron frame, check it regularly for any signs of rust, especially if it's placed outdoors. If you find rust, use a rust remover and then repaint the affected area. Keep the stools away from sharp objects to prevent scratches on both the frame and the cushions. Enjoy your stylish and comfortable stools!
