Using these bar stools is easy. Just assemble them following the included instructions. You can place them on your patio or in your backyard for a cozy seating option. When it comes to maintenance, you can clean the wicker with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the wicker finish. In case of bad weather, it's a good idea to store the stools indoors or cover them with a waterproof cover to protect them from the elements. Make sure to check the frame regularly for any signs of rust, and if you find any, use a rust - resistant paint to touch it up.
