Part of the Affaire collection, the stools are for covered areas outside in summertime and for indoor use. The stools can stand a rain shower, but not daily rain. When used outdoors the rattan frame will turn greyish like teak. Do not use in heavy rain and do not leave outside all year long. The Simone Counter Stool is the perfect height for a kitchen island and also makes for versatile outdoor seating, adding an air of unassuming refinement wherever it is used. This stool is maintenance-free, crafted from all-natural rattan and polystrand bindings. Designed for indoor or covered outdoor use, the stool's rattan frame will patina to a lovely light gray finish over time. If the original natural rattan look is desired, rub with linseed oil.
