Please refer to the product's official specifications or contact customer support for precise weight limit information.

Can the glider feet be replaced?

Yes, glider feet are often replaceable. Consult the product manual or contact customer support for compatible replacement options suitable for different floor types.

How is the optional front upholstery attached?

The front upholstery is typically integrated during manufacturing or attached via a method that maintains the chair's sleek profile. Specific attachment details can be found in the product's technical documentation.

Is the shell made entirely of recycled plastic?

What is the difference between the polished and powder-coated aluminum base options?

The polished aluminum base offers a shiny, reflective metallic finish, while the powder-coated base provides a matte, more subdued color finish.

How do I clean the aluminum base?

Wipe the aluminum base with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Chair wobbles or feels unstable.

Ensure the shell is securely attached to the base and that all bolts are tightened. Check that the chair is on a level surface and that the glider feet are evenly in contact with the floor.

Swivel base is stiff or noisy.

Inspect the swivel mechanism for any obstructions. Lightly lubricate the pivot points if recommended in the manual, using an appropriate lubricant. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Material on shell shows scratches or marks.

For minor marks on the recycled plastic, try cleaning with a damp cloth. For deeper scratches, consult the manufacturer's guidelines or professional restoration services. Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools.
