Troubleshooting

Wicker seat feels stiff or dry

Ensure the seat is not exposed to excessive heat or dry air. Lightly dust with a dry cloth. Avoid moisture.

Wood frame shows minor scuffs

For very minor scuffs, try a furniture polish appropriate for oak. For deeper marks, consult a professional furniture restorer.

Chair wobbles slightly

Ensure the chair is on a level surface. Check that all parts of the frame are securely fitted. If the wobble persists, consult the retailer for potential adjustments or defects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

The FDB Mobler J80 chair typically arrives fully assembled, ready for immediate use. Its robust oak frame is designed for longevity. To maintain the chair's appearance and structural integrity:

  • Wood Frame: Wipe the oak frame with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the wood finish. For deeper cleaning, a mild wood cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by drying with a soft cloth.
  • Wicker Seat: For the handwoven paper string seat, it is best to vacuum regularly with a soft brush attachment to remove dust. In case of spills, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid soaking the seat or using excessive moisture, as this can weaken the paper string. If a more thorough clean is needed, use a *very slightly* damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely.
  • Placement: Protect the wood from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations, which can cause fading or cracking over time.

Compatibility: The J80 chair is designed as a standalone seating solution and is compatible with standard dining tables and desks.
