Setup and Assembly

Assembly is required for the Devon Fabric Counter Stools. It is recommended to assemble the stools on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratching. Two people may be helpful for assembly.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a protected surface. Check against the "Package Contents" list.
2. Attach Legs to Seat Frame: Identify the four legs for one stool. Each leg typically has pre-drilled holes. Align the top of each leg with the corresponding corner of the stool seat frame. Secure each leg using the provided bolts and washers. Do not fully tighten bolts at this stage.
3. Install Footrest Bars: Connect the footrest bars between the legs. Ensure the bars are properly oriented to form a stable base. Secure with the provided bolts and washers. Do not fully tighten bolts yet.
4. Tighten All Fasteners: Once all legs and footrest bars are in place, gently place the stool upright on a level surface. Apply slight pressure to the seat to ensure it is level, then systematically tighten all bolts using the Allen wrench. Do not overtighten.
5. Repeat for Second Stool: Follow the same steps to assemble the second counter stool.
6. Final Check: Ensure both stools are stable and all fasteners are securely tightened before use.

Operating and Usage

The New Pacific Direct Devon Fabric Counter Stool is designed for comfortable seating at counter-height surfaces such as kitchen islands, home bars, or high tables.

Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will help preserve the appearance and extend the life of your counter stools.

• Cleaning Fabric: For general cleaning, wipe the fabric upholstery with a dry cloth. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Professional cleaning may be required for stubborn stains.
• Cleaning Wood Frame: Wipe the wood frame with a dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and immediately dry with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid excessive moisture.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fabric fading and wood discoloration.
• Avoid Heat Sources: Keep the stools away from direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces to prevent wood warping or cracking.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect all connections and tighten any loose bolts to maintain structural integrity.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Devon Fabric Counter Stool, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Stool Wobbles:
  • Ensure all bolts are securely tightened. Loosen all bolts slightly, place the stool on a level surface, apply even pressure to the seat, and then retighten all bolts.
  • Check if the floor surface is uneven. Consider using furniture pads or shims under the shorter leg if necessary.
• Loose Parts:
  • Regularly inspect and tighten all screws and bolts. Do not overtighten.
• Squeaking Noises:
  • Squeaking often indicates loose connections. Identify the source of the squeak and tighten the corresponding fasteners.
