4. Setup & Assembly
Assembly is required for these bar stools. It is recommended to assemble the stools on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratching. Two people may be required for easier assembly.
Assembly Steps:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Lay them out and compare with the package contents list to ensure everything is present.
- Attach Legs to Footrest Ring: Connect the four legs to the circular footrest ring using the provided screws and Allen wrench. Ensure all connections are secure but do not fully tighten yet.
- Attach Seat to Leg Assembly: Align the seat with the top of the leg assembly. Secure the seat to the leg assembly using the designated screws. Ensure the swivel mechanism is correctly oriented.
- Attach Backrest to Seat: Connect the backrest to the seat using the remaining screws. Ensure the holes align properly. Note: Some users have reported alignment challenges in this step. If you encounter difficulty, gently adjust the components until the holes align. Do not force screws.
- Final Tightening: Once all components are loosely assembled, place the stool upright on a flat surface. Apply gentle pressure to ensure it is level, then fully tighten all screws and bolts. Do not overtighten.

6. Maintenance
Cleaning and Care:
- Fabric Upholstery: For general cleaning, gently vacuum the fabric to remove dust and loose debris. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild fabric cleaner according to the product instructions, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Do not saturate the fabric.
- Wood Frame: Wipe the wood frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish. Dry immediately with a clean cloth.
- Hardware: Periodically check all screws and bolts for tightness. Retighten as needed to maintain stability and prevent creaking.
- Non-Slip Feet: Ensure the non-slip feet are clean and intact to protect your floors and maintain stability.

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Stool is wobbly or unstable. | Loose screws or uneven assembly. | Ensure all screws are fully tightened. Place the stool on a flat surface and apply gentle pressure to level it before final tightening. |
| Difficulty aligning screw holes during assembly. | Components not perfectly aligned or slight manufacturing variations. | Do not force screws. Loosen adjacent screws slightly, gently adjust the components to align the holes, then re-tighten all screws once aligned. |
| Stool makes creaking noises. | Loose connections or friction between parts. | Check and tighten all assembly screws. If creaking persists, disassemble and reassemble, ensuring all parts are correctly seated. |
| Swivel mechanism is stiff. | Dust or debris in the swivel mechanism, or lack of lubrication. | Clean around the swivel mechanism. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied if necessary, avoiding contact with fabric. |
