Operating

The POÄNG Footstool is designed for simple and comfortable use.

• Foot Rest: Use the footstool to elevate your feet while seated in an armchair or sofa, promoting relaxation and improved circulation.
• Versatility: While primarily a footrest, its sturdy construction allows for occasional use as a temporary seat for light loads, provided the weight limit is respected.

Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your POÄNG Footstool.

• Frame Care: Wipe the wooden frame with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution, then wipe dry with a clean cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Cushion Care: The Hillared Beige cushion is designed for durability. For general cleaning, vacuum regularly. For spills, gently blot with a clean, damp cloth. Refer to the care label on the cushion for specific washing instructions, if applicable.
• Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading of the cushion fabric and potential drying of the wood frame.

Troubleshooting

• Footstool feels wobbly: Ensure the footstool is placed on a completely flat and level surface. Check if any floor irregularities are causing instability.
• Creaking noises: While unlikely for this product, if any creaking occurs, inspect the frame for any loose joints. Although no assembly is required, prolonged use can sometimes cause minor shifts.
• Cushion appears flattened: Rotate or fluff the cushion periodically to maintain its shape and comfort.
