Troubleshooting

Wobbling or instability

Ensure all joints are securely fitted. If the stool is on an uneven surface, try placing a small pad under one leg. Check for any shipping damage to the components.

Stains on the natural finish

For fresh stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For older stains, light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper followed by a reapplication of a suitable wood finish might be necessary, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Scratches or minor dents

Small surface scratches can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, consider using a wood repair crayon or a light sanding and refinishing approach.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The HAY Manolito Stool requires no assembly upon arrival, featuring a ready-to-use design. Its simple wooden construction makes it compatible with a wide range of interior decor styles. To care for your Manolito Stool, it is recommended to clean it with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the natural pine finish. For spills, wipe them up immediately to prevent staining. Over time, natural pine may develop a patina, which is a natural characteristic of the material. Protect the surface from excessive heat and direct sunlight to prevent drying or warping.
