Troubleshooting

Stool wobbles after assembly

Ensure all three screws connecting the seat and base are fully tightened. If the wobble persists, check that the stool is on a level surface.

Difficulty aligning screws during assembly

Ensure the seat and base are correctly aligned before attempting to insert screws. Gently adjust the position until the holes line up smoothly.

Oak seat shows signs of drying or cracking

This may occur with extreme temperature or humidity changes. Apply a suitable wood conditioner or oil designed for oak furniture. Ensure the stool is kept in a stable environment.

Scratches on the powder-coated steel base

Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, consider a touch-up paint specifically for powder-coated metal, though this may alter the finish appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly is designed to be exceptionally simple, requiring no tools. Align the three screws provided with the pre-drilled holes on the oak seat and the steel base. Tighten the screws by hand until secure. The entire process typically takes less than two minutes.

Compatibility: The Lou Stool's universal design and standard height (45 cm) make it compatible with most counter heights, bar tables, and kitchen islands. Its transversal style allows it to blend with various decor styles, from minimalist to bohemian. It can be paired with other TIPTOE furniture or mixed with existing pieces.

Care: For the oak seat, wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For the powder-coated steel base, a similar gentle cleaning method is recommended. While designed for outdoor use, prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions is not advised for the oak seat. Ensure the stool is dry after cleaning, especially if used outdoors.
