Setup and Assembly
Assembly is required for the Homestyles Blair Black Dining Chairs. The process is designed to be straightforward with easy-to-understand directions provided in the package. An Allen wrench is included for assembly.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches. Verify all components and hardware are present against the parts list in your included instructions.
- Initial Fastening: Begin by loosely attaching all screws and bolts. The chairs typically involve 11 screws in total, provided in separate bags (short, standard, long).
- Preventing Wobble: To ensure stability and prevent wobbling, do not fully tighten screws one-by-one. Instead, screw them in as "groups," moving from one to another. Keep them loose until all connections are made.
- Seat and Leg Attachment: When attaching the seat and front legs to the back frame/leg assembly, take your time. Snug the fasteners but do not fully tighten. Test the chair's levelness as you go. Adjust the pitch of the seat to the back to achieve a perfect, stable fit.
- Final Tightening: Once all components are correctly aligned and the chair is level, fully tighten all screws and bolts.

Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your dining chairs.
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, spot clean the chairs as needed. Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap if necessary, and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

- Protecting the Finish: Avoid placing hot items directly on the chair surface. Use furniture pads under the legs to prevent scratching floors.

Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
- Wobbling Chair: If a chair feels wobbly, it is likely due to loose screws. Turn the chair upside down and use the provided Allen wrench to tighten all screws evenly. Avoid overtightening.
- Scratches/Chips in Finish: Minor scratches or chips can occur with regular use. Touch-up paint matching the black finish may be used to address these.
