Assembly Instructions

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a protected surface. Check against the parts list.
2. Attach Front Legs: Secure the Front Legs (C) to the underside of the Chair Seat (B) using the provided screws and washers from the Hardware Pack (G). Do not fully tighten screws yet.
3. Attach Chair Back: Connect the Chair Back (A) to the rear of the Chair Seat (B) using the appropriate screws and washers. Ensure the cut-out design faces the correct direction. Do not fully tighten.
4. Install Stretchers: Attach the Front Stretcher (E) between the two front legs. Attach the Side Stretchers (F) between the front and back legs on each side. Use the provided screws and washers.
5. Final Tightening: Once all components are loosely assembled, place the chair on a flat, level surface. Apply gentle downward pressure to ensure all legs are even. Then, systematically tighten all screws using the Allen wrench until secure. Do not overtighten.

Care and Maintenance

Regular care will help maintain the appearance and structural integrity of your BOWERY HILL dining chairs.

Wood Frame Care:

• Dusting: Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Cleaning: For deeper cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and mild wood cleaner, then immediately dry with a clean, soft cloth.
• Avoid Moisture: Protect from excessive moisture and spills. Wipe up spills immediately.
• Sunlight: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or cracking.
• Heat: Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces.

Upholstered Seat Care:

• Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly using an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris.
• Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild fabric cleaner following the product instructions, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners on the fabric.

General Maintenance:

• Check Hardware: Periodically check and retighten all screws and bolts to ensure stability. Do this every 3-6 months or if the chair feels wobbly.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter with your dining chairs:

• Chair Wobbles:
  • Ensure the chair is on a flat, even surface.
  • Check all assembly screws and bolts. Loosen them slightly, press down firmly on the seat to level the chair, then retighten all hardware securely.
• Loose Parts:
  • If any part feels loose, immediately stop using the chair.
  • Identify the loose connection and tighten the corresponding screws or bolts using the provided Allen wrench.
• Squeaking Noises:
  • Squeaking often indicates loose joints. Retighten all assembly hardware.
  • If squeaking persists, disassemble the affected joint, apply a small amount of wood glue (not included) to the dowels or joint surfaces, and reassemble, ensuring a tight fit.
