You can use this stool in your living room as an extra seat or in your kitchen as a bar stool. To keep it in good condition, avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods as it may cause the wood to fade. Clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. If there are any spills, wipe them up immediately to prevent damage to the wood. Every few months, you can apply a light wood polish to maintain its shine and protect the surface.
