Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Neo Dining Chairs will likely require some assembly, primarily attaching the legs to the seat frame. Follow these general steps:
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Lay them out on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
- Identify Parts: Check against the included instructions to ensure all parts (legs, hardware, tools) are present. > Info needed: Actual assembly instructions not provided.
- Attach Legs: Securely attach each leg to the underside of the chair frame using the provided hardware (screws, washers, Allen wrench). Ensure all connections are tightened evenly to prevent wobbling.
- Test Stability: Once assembled, gently rock the chair to check for stability. If wobbly, loosen the screws slightly, sit on the chair to level it, then retighten all screws.
Compatibility
These chairs are designed to be compatible with most standard dining tables. Consider the following:
- Table Height: Ensure your dining table's height allows for comfortable seating with the chair's seat height. A standard dining chair seat height is typically between 18-20 inches.
- Table Style: The classic design of these chairs pairs well with traditional, transitional, or even some modern farmhouse dining tables.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the beauty and longevity of your Neo Dining Chairs.
- Velvet Upholstery:
- Regular Cleaning: Gently vacuum the velvet fabric weekly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and crumbs.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry white cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper and damage the velvet pile. For tougher stains, use a velvet-specific cleaner or a mixture of mild soap and water applied sparingly with a clean cloth. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the velvet to fade.
- Wooden Legs:
- Cleaning: Wipe piano black wooden legs with a soft, damp cloth. Dry immediately with another clean cloth to prevent water marks.
- Protection: Use felt pads under the legs to protect your flooring and prevent scratches to the leg finish.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals on the wood finish.
- Nail Head Studs and Pull Ring:
- Wipe gently with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the antique brass finish.
