What are the dimensions of the chair?

Is the swivel base suitable for all carpet types?

The glider feet are best suited for hard floors and low-pile carpets. For thicker carpets, performance may be reduced, and floor protection might be advisable.

Troubleshooting

Chair wobbles or is unstable.

Ensure the base is securely attached to the shell and all bolts are tightened. Check that the glider feet are evenly seated on the floor.

Swivel base movement is stiff or noisy.

Inspect the swivel mechanism for any obstructions. Clean the mechanism with a dry cloth and ensure it is free from debris. For persistent issues, consult the manufacturer.

Upholstery appears loose or damaged.

Check the attachment points of the upholstery. If it is a removable cover, ensure it is fitted correctly. For damage, contact customer support for repair or replacement options.

Scratches on the aluminium base.

For minor scratches on polished aluminium, a metal polish designed for aluminium can be used cautiously. For powder-coated finishes, touch-up paint might be an option, or consult a professional for refinishing.
