Using this stool is easy. You can place it in your living room, bedroom, or dressing area for extra seating. If you're feeling tired, just put your feet on it as a footrest. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft brush to gently clean the faux fur seat to keep it looking fluffy. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the fur. For the metal legs, a simple wipe with a damp cloth will do. Also, make sure to place the stool on a flat surface to prevent it from wobbling. And remember, this stool is designed for normal household use, so don't use it for any heavy - duty activities.
