Specifications

• Size: Approx. 30 cm width × 20 cm depth × 30 cm height (≈ 11.8 in × 7.9 in × 11.8 in)
• Material: Sawara Cypress Lacquered (weather-resistant)

Care:

• After each use, rinse off soap and shampoo and wipe it dry. Residue left on the wood can cause discoloration and mold.
• Store it outside the bathroom, for example in a dressing area. A humid bathroom encourages mold.
• Keep it away from direct sunlight, heaters, and dryers, which can cause warping and cracking.
• Check that the legs are steady before use. If they become wobbly with age, stop using the stool.
