The retractable canopy provides adjustable shade, and the cushions are designed to be waterproof.

Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the Flieks Outdoor Patio Round Daybed is required. It is recommended that two adults perform the assembly to ensure stability and proper alignment of components. Please ensure all parts are present before beginning assembly.

Package Contents:

• 1 × Retractable canopy
• 1 × Round footstool (can also function as a coffee table)
• 2 × Fan-shaped footstool
• 2 × Fan-shaped lounge chair sections
• 1 × Round cushion
• 4 × Sector cushions
• 3 × Pillows
• Assembly hardware (bolts, nuts, washers, tools)

Assembly Steps:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches. Verify all listed components are present.
2. Assemble Base Sections: Begin by assembling the base frames for the fan-shaped lounge chairs and footstools. Ensure all bolts are finger-tightened initially.
3. Connect Sections: Connect the individual base sections to form the round daybed structure. Pay close attention to alignment to ensure a seamless fit.
4. Install Retractable Canopy Frame: Attach the canopy support frame to the main daybed structure. This step often requires two people to hold the frame in place while securing it. Ensure the gas springs are correctly installed to allow for smooth canopy operation.
5. Attach Canopy Fabric: Secure the retractable canopy fabric to its frame.
6. Assemble Coffee Table/Footstool: Assemble the central round footstool, which can be lifted to function as a coffee table.
7. Tighten All Fasteners: Once all components are in place and aligned, systematically tighten all bolts and nuts using the provided tools. Do not overtighten.
8. Place Cushions and Pillows: Position the round cushion, sector cushions, and pillows onto the assembled daybed.

Note: Some users have reported challenges with bolt hole alignment during canopy assembly. If you encounter this, gently adjust the frame components to achieve proper alignment before tightening.

Operating Instructions

Retractable Canopy:

The daybed features a retractable canopy for adjustable shade. To raise the canopy, gently push it upwards. The integrated gas springs will assist in holding it in the desired position. To lower, gently pull the canopy downwards until it rests in its closed position.

Reconfiguring Seating:

The Flieks daybed is designed for versatile use. It can be used as a complete round daybed or separated into individual seating units. To reconfigure:

1. Remove all cushions and pillows.
2. Carefully separate the fan-shaped lounge chair sections and footstools from each other.
3. Arrange the pieces as desired, such as two lounge chairs, two footstools, and a central coffee table.
4. Replace cushions and pillows on the reconfigured units.

Coffee Table Functionality:

The central round footstool can be converted into a coffee table. To raise it, lift the top surface. The internal mechanism will lock it into an elevated position. To lower it back to a footstool, release the locking mechanism (if present) and gently push down.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and extend the lifespan of your Flieks Outdoor Patio Round Daybed.

Cleaning the Rattan Wicker:

• Wipe down the PE rattan wicker with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue.
• Allow to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material.

Cushion Care:

• The cushions are designed to be waterproof. For general cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth.
• For deeper cleaning, removable cushion covers can be hand washed with mild soap and cold water, then air dried. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
• Store cushions indoors during prolonged periods of non-use or inclement weather to prevent mildew and fading.

Canopy Care:

• Clean the canopy fabric with mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly.
• Ensure the canopy is completely dry before retracting it for storage to prevent mildew.

General Care:

• Periodically check all bolts and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary.
• Consider using a protective outdoor furniture cover when the daybed is not in use, especially during harsh weather conditions or off-season storage.
• Avoid placing hot items directly on the rattan or cushions without protection.

Troubleshooting

Canopy Does Not Stay Up/Down:

• Check Gas Springs: Ensure the gas springs are correctly installed and not damaged. Refer to assembly instructions for proper orientation.
• Verify Frame Alignment: Misaligned canopy frame components can hinder smooth operation. Loosen bolts, adjust alignment, and retighten.

Difficulty During Assembly (Parts Not Aligning):

• Do Not Overtighten Prematurely: Keep all bolts finger-tight until all components are loosely assembled. This allows for minor adjustments.
• Check Part Orientation: Ensure each part is oriented correctly according to the diagrams in the assembly instructions.
• Two-Person Assembly: Some steps, especially with larger frames, are significantly easier and more accurate with two people.

Cushions Slide Off:

• Non-Slip Pads: Place non-slip furniture pads or mats under the cushions to increase friction.
• Secure with Ties: If the cushions have loops or the frame allows, consider adding ties to secure them to the daybed frame.

General Instability:

• Tighten All Fasteners: Ensure all bolts, nuts, and screws are securely tightened.
• Level Surface: Place the daybed on a flat, level surface. Uneven ground can cause wobbling.
