4. Installation Instructions

This wood post is designed for attachment to a flat surface, such as the underside of a tabletop, island, or stair newel.

1. Preparation:

   The wood post is individually wrapped to control moisture content and is ready for finishing. A quick sanding may be performed if desired to prepare the surface for paint or stain. Ensure the post is clean and dry before finishing or installation.

2. Positioning:

   Determine the exact location where the post will be installed. Mark the mounting points on the receiving surface.
3. Attachment:

   Secure the post to the desired surface using appropriate mounting hardware (e.g., screws, corner brackets, or specialized leg attachment plates, not included). Ensure the fasteners are long enough to provide a secure hold without penetrating through the visible surface of your furniture piece.

   For optimal stability, distribute the attachment points evenly and ensure the post is plumb (vertically straight) before fully tightening all fasteners.

5. Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the post with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the wood finish.
• Finishing: If you choose to paint or stain the post, follow the manufacturer's instructions for your chosen finishing product.
• Moisture Control: As a natural wood product, the post is sensitive to extreme changes in humidity and temperature. Maintain a stable environment to prevent warping or cracking.

6. Troubleshooting

This product is a passive component and typically does not require troubleshooting. However, if you encounter issues related to its stability or appearance:

• Instability: If the post feels wobbly after installation, re-check all mounting hardware to ensure it is securely fastened. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and rigid.
• Surface Imperfections: Minor variations in wood grain or color are natural. For significant imperfections, contact customer support.
