These stools are super easy to use. Just place them in your kitchen, and you're ready to sit back and relax. When sitting, make sure to distribute your weight evenly to keep the stool stable. As for maintenance, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the faux leather regularly to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the leather. Also, try not to place heavy objects on the stool's backrest to prevent it from getting bent. If you move the stools around, lift them gently instead of dragging to protect the legs and the floor.
