Using this bar stool is easy. Just place it where you need a seat, like at your bar or counter. Make sure the surface is flat to keep it stable. When sitting, don't rock back and forth too much as it might tip over. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off dust regularly. If there are stains on the wicker seat, you can use a mild soap and water solution to clean it gently. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for long periods as it may cause the wood to fade and the wicker to dry out. Store it indoors during harsh weather to protect it from damage.
