Care and Maintenance
Cleaning
The faux leather surface and chrome parts are designed for easy cleaning:
- Wipe the faux leather seat with a damp cloth. For more stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used.
- Clean chrome parts with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or solvents, as these can damage the faux leather and chrome finish.
- Always dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots or damage.
General Care
- Regularly check all screws and connections to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain stability.
- Avoid exposing the stool to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for prolonged periods, as this may cause material degradation or fading.
- The plastic ring on the base is designed to protect your floor. Ensure it remains intact and clean to prevent scratches.


Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your tectake bar stools, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
Stool feels unstable or wobbly
- Solution: Check all assembly connections. Ensure all screws are tightened securely. Verify that the stool is placed on a flat, even surface. Uneven flooring can cause instability.
Height adjustment not working
- Solution: Ensure the gas lift lever is fully engaged when attempting to adjust the height. If the issue persists, the gas lift cylinder may be faulty and require replacement. Contact customer support for assistance.
Squeaking noises during use
- Solution: Apply a small amount of silicone spray to moving parts, such as the swivel mechanism or the connections around the gas lift cylinder. Avoid using oil-based lubricants on the gas lift itself.
