Care & Usage Instructions
- Lift the stool when moving it. Do not drag it across the floor, as this may damage the legs or joints.
- Always place the stool on a stable, level surface before use.
- Do not sit on the edge of the seat or place excessive weight on one side, as this may cause the stool to become unstable and result in injury or damage.
- Avoid standing on the stool unless it is specifically intended for that purpose.
- Wipe clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.
- To preserve the natural beauty of the wood, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, excessive heat, or high humidity.
About Natural Wood
Crafted from natural wood, each piece showcases its own unique grain, colour, and character. Rather than concealing these natural variations, Asakura Kagu embraces the beauty of the material, allowing the warmth and individuality of the timber to be appreciated over time.
As a result, no two pieces are exactly alike, making each one uniquely yours.
