Using these barstools is easy. First, assemble them according to the included instructions. Once assembled, place them in your outdoor dining or bar area. They're great for sitting while enjoying a meal or a drink outdoors. When it comes to maintenance, wipe the acacia wood frame with a damp cloth regularly to keep it clean. For the water - resistant cushions, spot - clean them with a mild detergent if they get dirty. Keep in mind that although the cushions are water - resistant, it's best to store them indoors during heavy rain or extreme weather. Also, don't exceed the 400 lbs weight capacity to ensure the stools' long - term durability.
