Troubleshooting

Chair wobbles or is unstable

Ensure all parts of the base are securely fitted and that the chair is on a level surface. Check if the floor protectors are uneven or if the chair has been exposed to excessive moisture which could affect the wood.

Shell surface has minor marks or scuffs

For minor scuffs on the shell, try cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. For more persistent marks, consult the manufacturer's guidelines or a furniture care specialist.

Difficulty tucking chair under table

Verify the height of your table's apron against the height of the chair's armrests. Some tables may have lower clearances, requiring a different chair model or table height adjustment.
