4. Setup and Assembly

Assembly typically takes 30-60 minutes per stool. It is recommended to have a second person assist with certain steps.

4.1. Preparation

• Clear a spacious, clean area for assembly.
• Carefully unpack all components and lay them out.
• Sort all screws and hardware by size and type to avoid confusion during assembly. Refer to the hardware diagram in your included paper manual if available.
• Optional: Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., WD-40) to the swivel mechanism before assembly to ensure smoother rotation. Work the lubricant into the mechanism by rotating it several times.

4.2. Assembly Steps

1. Attach Backrest to Seat: Position the backrest onto the seat. Start by inserting the screws into the bottom holes first, only partially threading them. This allows for slight movement. Insert the inner bushings between the seat bottom and the backrest. Then, align and insert the top two screws, ensuring the bushings are correctly positioned between the armrest and the backrest. Once all screws are started, gently tighten them, ensuring the backrest is flush and secure.
2. Attach Swivel Plate to Seat: If the swivel plate is separate, align it with the pre-drilled holes on the underside of the seat. Start all screws without fully tightening them. You may need to gently wiggle the swivel plate to align the holes. Once all screws are started, tighten them securely.

3. Attach Footrest to Leg Frame: Position the footrest ring onto the leg frame. Ensure that any drain holes on the footrest are facing downwards. Start all screws without fully tightening them. You may need to apply slight pressure or wiggle the legs to align the holes. Once all screws are started, tighten them securely.

4. Connect Seat Assembly to Leg Frame: Carefully place the assembled seat (upside down) on a stable, elevated surface (e.g., the product box). Invert the leg frame assembly and align the holes on the swivel plate with the holes on the top of the leg frame. Start all screws without fully tightening them. Once all screws are started, tighten them securely.
5. Final Check: Once assembled, gently place the stool upright. Check for stability and ensure all screws are fully tightened. Adjust the leveling feet if necessary to prevent wobbling.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your VINGLI bar stools, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Weather Resistance: The stools are designed for all-weather outdoor use. However, for prolonged periods of extreme weather or during off-season storage, covering the stools or storing them indoors will help preserve their condition.
• Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten any loose hardware to maintain stability and safety.
• Swivel Mechanism: If the swivel mechanism becomes stiff over time, apply a silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts.
