Using these barstools is easy. Just assemble them as per the instructions, and place them on your patio. They're great for having a drink or a meal outdoors. When it comes to maintenance, since the cushions are made of water - resistant fabric, you can simply wipe them clean with a damp cloth if they get dirty. In case of heavy rain or snow, it's a good idea to cover the barstools or store them indoors to prolong their lifespan. For the acacia wood frame, you can occasionally apply a wood protector to keep it looking new. And always make sure to tighten the screws regularly to maintain stability.
