Using your Privy counter stools is super easy. Just place them around your kitchen counter or dining area and start enjoying your meals. Since they don't require assembly, you can use them right out of the box. When it comes to weight, each stool can hold up to 331 lbs, so make sure not to exceed this limit. For maintenance, you can clean the soft polyester fabric upholstery with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Wipe down the gold - colored stainless steel base regularly to keep it shiny. The non - marking foot caps are there to protect your floors, but still, try to avoid dragging the stools around to prevent any potential scratches. Also, keep in mind that due to COVID - 19, there might be delays in processing and shipping if you need to replace or return the product.
