Can I use this chair outdoors?

How is the oak wood finished?

The oak frame is typically finished to protect the wood while highlighting its natural grain. Specific finish details can be found in the product's technical specifications.

How should I care for the paper string seat?

Gently dust the seat regularly. Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions directly on the paper string.

Troubleshooting

Wicker seat feels rough or snagging

Ensure the seat is clean and dry. Minor roughness can sometimes be smoothed with very fine-grit sandpaper, but test in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

Wood frame feels dry

Apply a small amount of natural wood oil or wax specifically designed for oak furniture, following the product's instructions. Wipe away any excess.

Chair wobbles

Check that all parts of the frame are securely joined. If the wobble persists, it might be due to uneven flooring. Minor adjustments may be possible at the joints, or consider a felt pad on one leg.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The FDB Mobler J80 chair typically arrives fully assembled, requiring no complex setup. Its classic design makes it compatible with a wide range of dining tables and interior styles. To maintain its appearance and longevity:

  • Frame Care: Wipe the oak frame with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the wood finish.
