What is the design inspiration for this doorstop?
The design is based on Nordic folklore 'Gonk' or gnome characters, known for their hidden eyes and whimsical hats.
Can I use this outdoors?
It is recommended for indoor use only to prevent the plush material from getting wet, dirty, or damaged by the elements.
Troubleshooting
The doorstop slides on smooth floors
Ensure the doorstop is pushed firmly against the corner of the door and the floor to maximize friction.

Use a standard lint roller or a soft-bristled upholstery brush to gently lift debris from the plush fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Gonk is straightforward: simply place it at the base of your door once you have reached your desired opening width. It is compatible with most standard interior doors. To ensure the product lasts, perform light maintenance such as gentle brushing of the fur to keep it looking tidy. As it is a plush item, avoid exposing it to moisture or liquids. If the surface becomes dusty, use a lint roller or a soft, slightly damp cloth to dab the affected area—do not submerge or machine wash the item, as this may compromise the internal weighting or structural integrity.
