If you want to keep your new barstool swiveling easily, there are some things you can do. First, check the base to make sure that the screws and brackets aren’t too tight. If they are, they could prevent the Malibu Swivel Barstool in Black Faux Leather with Dark Oak Wood Finish from turning properly. Next, use a product such as WD-40 to provide lubrication for the parts needing to turn. If that doesn’t work, the bearing needs to be degreased so that it stays clean. Use a degreaser on the part but make sure to rinse it off well and dry the metal base so it doesn’t rust.
