Usage Features:

• Assembly: The stool requires assembly. Users are advised to check the color of the first component before unpacking everything, lay out all components on protective packaging to prevent scratches, and verify all parts against the parts page in the instructions.
• Stability: The product should only be used on firm, level ground.
• Regular Checks: Users are instructed to periodically check all fittings and re-tighten them as necessary to ensure they remain tight and the legs/feet are secure.
• Weight Limit: Adherence to the maximum weight capacity of 130 kg is crucial for safety and product integrity.
• Avoid Standing/Leaning: Users should not stand or lean back on the furniture.
• Environmental Considerations:
  • Avoid exposing the furniture to excessive heat or direct sunlight, as this can cause wood cracking and color deterioration.
  • Keep away from strong heat sources.
• Floor Protection: Always ensure that floor protectors are used on the legs according to the type of flooring to prevent damage.
• Moving Furniture: When moving the stool, never drag it across the floor, as this can damage the joints or the floor itself.
• Adhesives: Avoid applying adhesive substrates, such as sticky tape, directly to the product.
• Chemicals: Do not use silicone-based furniture polish, as silicone can break down the lacquer finish.
• Liquids: Never allow any kind of liquid to remain on the furniture, as absorption can cause finishes to de-laminate or stain.

• General Cleaning: For all items, lightly wipe with a slightly dampened cloth.
