FAQs
What is the primary material of this door stop?
The door stop is primarily made of a distressed brown leatherette fabric.
How heavy is the door stop?
The product description states it is 'weighty enough to hold any door in the house', implying a substantial weight suitable for its function, though an exact weight in pounds is listed as 0.0 Pounds in the technical data, which may indicate a placeholder or a misinterpretation; it is functionally designed to be heavy.
Can this door stop be used outdoors?
It is best suited for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements like rain and sun may damage the leatherette and embroidery.
How do I clean the door stop?
Wipe the surface with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Is the quote embroidered or printed?
The quote 'A House is Not a Home Without a Dog' is embroidered onto the fabric.
What is the collection this item belongs to?
This door stop is part of the 'Retreat' collection from HESTIA.
Will this door stop protect my toes if I stub them?
The door stop is padded, which can help reduce the impact and discomfort if you accidentally stub your toe on it.
Troubleshooting
Door stop slides on floor
Ensure the floor surface is clean and dry. For very smooth floors, a small piece of non-slip matting underneath may help, or consider a door stop with a rubber base if this is a recurring issue.
Door does not stay open fully
Check if the door stop is positioned correctly. It may need to be placed further back from the door. Ensure the door is not being held open against excessive pressure, like a strong draft.
Leatherette appears dry or dull
Gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth followed by a dry one. For restoration, a leather conditioner suitable for faux leather might be considered, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: No assembly is required. Simply place the door stop on the floor behind the door you wish to keep open. Ensure the door can open sufficiently to rest against the stop without undue force.
Compatibility: This door stop is best suited for interior doors with standard clearance. It functions best on smooth, non-slippery floor surfaces. It is not recommended for use on steeply sloped floors or in high-traffic outdoor areas.
Care: To maintain its appearance, wipe the leatherette surface with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the distressed finish and embroidery. Keep away from direct prolonged sunlight to prevent fading.
