Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the wooden frame with a dry cloth. For the natural flax upholstery, spot clean with a mild detergent and damp cloth if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Hardware: Periodically check all screws and connections. Tighten them as needed to maintain the stool's stability and structural integrity.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause fading of the upholstery and wood finish.
- Protect Floors: Consider using felt pads on the bottom of the legs to prevent scratching floors.
Troubleshooting
- Stool Wobbles: Ensure all screws are fully tightened. If wobbling persists, loosen all screws slightly, sit on the stool to level it, then retighten all screws. Check if the floor surface is even.
- Loose Parts: If any parts feel loose, immediately stop using the stool and tighten all hardware.
- Squeaking: Squeaking can often be resolved by tightening all assembly hardware.
