Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
Stool wobbles	Uneven floor or loose screws	Check floor level. Tighten all screws connecting legs to seat and cross braces.
Squeaking noise	Wood parts rubbing	Ensure all joints are tight. A small amount of furniture wax on connecting points may help.

Scratches on seat	Assembly on hard surface	Assemble on a soft cloth or carpet. Minor scratches can be touched up with a matching wood marker.
