WARNING & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before assembling or using this coat rack, review these important guidelines:
- Indoor Use Only: Bamboo performs best indoors and should be kept dry to prevent swelling or cracking.
- Assemble on a Flat Surface: Ensures all poles and joints align correctly.
- Do Not Overtighten Initially: Leave screws slightly loose until all sections are connected.
- Avoid Overloading Hooks: Hooks are designed for clothes and accessories, not heavy bags.
- Keep Hardware Away from Children: Metal fasteners are small and may pose choking hazards.
- Avoid Sharp Impact: Bamboo can dent or crack if hit forcefully.
- No Power Tools: Only use the included Allen key to avoid stripping threads.
- Do Not Modify Parts: Alterations may weaken stability.

FAQs
1. How can I make sure the coat rack stays stable over time?
Long-term stability depends on keeping the base fully tightened and checking the joints every few weeks. Bamboo and metal can loosen slightly with regular use, so periodic re-tightening helps maintain balance. Placing the rack on an even floor and using the anti-slip pads also prevents shifting.
2. What should I check first if the poles don’t align straight?
Misalignment usually occurs when the connector nut isn’t seated fully inside the lower pole. Remove the upper pole, reposition the connector, and lower it back down carefully. Ensuring both poles meet at a clean, centered point restores a straight vertical line.
3. What’s the best place to put the coat rack for everyday use?
Choose a low-traffic indoor spot where it won’t be bumped or knocked over frequently. Placing it on a level surface near an entryway or bedroom corner works well. Avoid direct sunlight or areas with fluctuating humidity to keep the bamboo in good condition.
