Operating Instructions
Your Watson & Whitely bar stools are designed for ease of use and comfort.
- Swivel Function: The 360-degree swivel plate allows you to rotate freely while seated. This feature is designed for smooth and quiet operation.
- Seating: Always sit centrally on the stool to maintain balance and stability. Avoid leaning excessively to one side.
- Movement: When moving the stool, lift it rather than dragging it to prevent damage to the floor protector pads and your flooring.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and extend the life of your bar stools.
- Fabric Care: Spot clean fabric upholstery with a water-based shampoo or foam upholstery cleaner. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Do not saturate the fabric.
- Frame Care: Wipe the metal legs with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Regular Checks: Periodically inspect all bolts and screws to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain structural integrity.
- Floor Protectors: Check the floor protector pads regularly and replace them if they show signs of wear to prevent floor scratches.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your bar stools, please refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Stool wobbles | Uneven floor; loose connections; uneven leg length. | Adjust the height adjusters on the feet; tighten all assembly screws; ensure legs are fully inserted. |
| Swivel mechanism is stiff | Lack of lubrication; debris in mechanism. | Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the swivel plate; clean any visible debris. |
| Screws become loose frequently | Normal wear and tear; insufficient initial tightening. | Re-tighten all screws firmly. Consider using thread locker for persistent issues (consult a professional if unsure). |
