The doorstop measures approximately 15cm x 15cm x 10.5cm.
How much does the doorstop weigh?

What is the Monkey's Fist knot?
The Monkey's Fist is a type of knot that forms a large ball or 'fist' at the end of a rope, traditionally used on sailing ships.
Can this doorstop be used outdoors?
While made of durable rope, it is best used indoors to protect it from prolonged exposure to weather, moisture, and dirt, which could degrade the material and affect its appearance.
Is this product suitable for use around children or pets?
Due to its weight, it is advisable to place the doorstop where it cannot be easily knocked over by children or pets to avoid potential injury.
How should I clean the rope doorstop?
Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the rope or using harsh cleaning agents.
Can it be used as a decorative item only?
Yes, its unique design makes it a suitable decorative item, bookend, or paperweight even if not used as a primary doorstop.
Troubleshooting
Doorstop does not hold door open
Ensure the doorstop is positioned correctly and the door is resting firmly against it. The door may be too heavy for the doorstop, or there may be excessive airflow. Consider using a second doorstop or an alternative solution for very heavy doors or strong drafts.
Rope appears frayed or damaged
Inspect the rope for significant damage. Minor fraying is normal for rope products. If the damage is extensive, consider replacing the doorstop to ensure safety and continued functionality.
Doorstop slides on floor
Clean both the floor and the bottom of the doorstop to remove any dust or debris that may be reducing friction. If the floor is particularly smooth, consider placing a non-slip mat underneath the doorstop.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply place the doorstop on the floor behind the door you wish to keep open. Ensure there is enough clearance for the door to rest against it. No assembly is required.
Compatibility: This doorstop is compatible with most interior doors. Its effectiveness depends on the weight of the door and the gap between the door and the floor. It is also suitable for use on desks or bookshelves.
Care: To maintain its appearance and longevity, clean the rope doorstop with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. If the doorstop becomes wet, allow it to air dry completely to prevent mildew. Periodically check the rope for any signs of wear and tear.
