- Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials from the footrest.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your Desky Cushioned Foot Rest, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning the Suede Cover: The soft suede cover is removable for easy cleaning. Unzip and gently remove the cover from the foam cushion. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water, or machine wash on a delicate cycle. Air dry thoroughly before reattaching. Do not bleach or tumble dry.
- Cleaning the Base: Wipe the metal frame and non-slip base with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the finish.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the anti-skid feet for any signs of wear or damage. If the feet appear worn, they may need replacement to maintain stability and protect your flooring.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Desky Cushioned Foot Rest, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Problem: Footrest Does Not Stay in Position.
Solution: Ensure the adjustable knob on the side of the footrest is tightened securely after setting your desired tilt angle. If the issue persists, inspect the tilting mechanism for any obstructions or damage that might prevent it from locking properly. - Problem: Footrest Slides on the Floor.
Solution: Verify that the non-slip base is clean and free of any debris. Ensure the footrest is placed on a dry, flat surface. If the anti-skid feet are worn or damaged, they may need replacement to restore proper grip. - Problem: Unusual Noises During Adjustment.
Solution: Check for any loose components or obstructions within the tilting mechanism. Ensure all parts are properly aligned and secured. If the noise continues, contact customer support.
