Function Description:
The WEN 300-Pound Capacity Bar Stool is designed as a sturdy and reliable seating solution. Its primary function is to provide elevated seating, suitable for various environments such as workshops, garages, or recreational spaces where a durable and stable stool is required. The design emphasizes dependability, ease of operation, and user safety, aiming to deliver years of trouble-free performance when properly cared for and used as intended. The stool is not designed for carrying people or animals, nor is it intended for children to play on, stand upon, or climb. It is crucial to use the product for its intended purpose and avoid modifications.
Important Technical Specifications:
