Troubleshooting
Seat feels slightly loose or saggy after years of use
The paper cord is a natural material that may relax over time; avoid placing heavy items on the seat when not in use to maintain tension.
Visible dust trapped in paper cord weave
Use a low-suction vacuum with a soft upholstery brush to gently lift dirt from between the cord rows.
Minor scuffs on painted beech frame
Contact the manufacturer or a professional wood restorer to source touch-up paint specifically formulated for the Soft Edition colors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The CH24 arrives fully assembled, requiring no tools for setup. When placing the chairs, ensure they are used on level flooring to maintain the balance of the wooden frame. Compatibility is high, as the 70 cm armrest height fits under most modern dining tables.
Care Instructions:
- Avoid placing the chair in direct, harsh sunlight to prevent fading of the matte paint.
- For the paper cord seat, use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove dust.
- In case of spills, dab immediately with a dry, clean cloth; do not rub, as this pushes debris into the cord fibers.
- Avoid heavy chemical cleaners; use a damp cloth with mild soap only if absolutely necessary for wooden surfaces.
