Setup and Assembly
The Powell Furniture Davis Counter Stool requires some assembly. Follow these steps carefully to ensure proper construction and stability.
Before You Begin:
- Unpack all components and hardware. Verify that all parts are present according to the included parts list (not provided in this manual, refer to packaging).
- Place all parts on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
- Tools required for assembly are typically a Phillips head screwdriver and an Allen wrench (often included with hardware).
Assembly Steps:
- Attach Legs to Seat Base: Carefully align the legs with the designated mounting points on the underside of the seat base. Insert the bolts and hand-tighten them initially.
- Secure Footrest Ring: Attach the footrest ring to the legs. Ensure the holes align properly before inserting and hand-tightening the bolts.
- Attach Backrest: Position the backrest against the seat. Align the pre-drilled holes on the backrest with the corresponding holes on the seat base. Insert the screws and hand-tighten.
- Final Tightening: Once all components are loosely assembled and aligned, gradually tighten all bolts and screws using the appropriate tools. Do not overtighten.
Important Note: Some users have reported difficulty with hole alignment during assembly. Ensure all holes are perfectly aligned before attempting to fully tighten any fasteners. If alignment issues persist, gently adjust components or contact customer support.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your counter stool.
- Cleaning Wood Surfaces: Wipe wood surfaces with a damp cloth, then immediately wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning Fabric Upholstery: For the natural linen-look fabric, spot clean with a mild, water-free solvent or dry-cleaning product. Test in an inconspicuous area first. Do not saturate the fabric.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading of the fabric and wood finish.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Davis Counter Stool, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Difficulty during assembly (holes not aligning) | Components not perfectly aligned before tightening; manufacturing variation. | Loosen all fasteners, re-align components carefully, then gradually tighten. If issues persist, contact customer support. |
| Stool feels wobbly or unstable | Loose fasteners; uneven floor surface. | Check and tighten all bolts and screws. Ensure the stool is on a flat, level surface. |
| Backrest becomes loose | Screws securing the backrest have loosened over time. | Re-tighten the screws connecting the backrest to the seat. Avoid excessive force. |
| Swivel mechanism is stiff or noisy | Lack of lubrication; debris in the mechanism. | Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the swivel mechanism. Ensure no debris is obstructing movement. |
