Choosing the Right Stool Height
To ensure optimal comfort, select a stool height that provides adequate legroom between the seat and your counter or table. For best results, allow 9 to 13 inches between the seat height and the bottom of your counter or table.

Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your counter stool.
- Cleaning: For the metal frame, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For the upholstered seat, spot clean with a mild detergent and water solution. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Wood Care: The wood back piece can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes to prevent warping or fading.
- Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability and safety.
- Placement: Avoid placing the stool in direct sunlight or near heat sources, which can damage materials.

Troubleshooting
- Stool Wobbles: Ensure all bolts are fully tightened. If wobbling persists, loosen all bolts slightly, sit on the stool to settle the legs, then re-tighten all bolts evenly.
- Swivel Mechanism Stiff: The swivel mechanism may be stiff when new. Regular use should loosen it. If it remains stiff, ensure the swivel plate is correctly installed and bolts are not overtightened.
- Noise: If the stool makes noise during use, check all connections for tightness. Applying a small amount of silicone lubricant to the swivel mechanism may help if the noise originates there.
