Using your Artless Ligeti Outdoor L3 Bar Stool is simple. Just place it at your bar or outdoor seating area and enjoy. When it comes to maintenance, since the wood is resistant to the elements, you don't need to worry too much about bad weather. But it's still a good idea to clean it with a mild soap and water occasionally. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might damage the powder - coated base or the Shou Sugi Ban finish. Also, remember this product is made to order, so there are no cancellations or returns, so choose carefully before purchasing.
