6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your garden stool:

• Cushion Care: The cushion cover is removable and washable. It is made from a water-resistant polyester blend. For cleaning, remove the cover and follow the care instructions on the label.
• Frame Care: The steel frame is powder-coated for corrosion resistance. Clean the frame and rattan weave with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely to prevent water spots.
• Protection: For outdoor use, especially during prolonged periods of non-use or adverse weather, cover the stool with a protective furniture cover to shield it from elements and extend its lifespan.
• Screws: The stool uses stainless steel screws, which are resistant to rust. Periodically check all screws for tightness and re-tighten if necessary.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter:

• Stool feels wobbly: Ensure all assembly screws are fully tightened. Check that the stool is placed on a flat, even surface.
• Cushion slides: While the cushion is designed to be removable, if excessive sliding occurs, consider adding anti-slip pads between the cushion and the stool frame.
• Discoloration or wear: Over time, exposure to harsh weather can cause wear. Using a protective cover when not in use is the best way to prevent this.
