Troubleshooting

Chair wobbles or feels unstable.

Ensure the chair is on a level surface. Check if any leg appears shorter due to natural wood variation. If significant, consult the retailer for potential adjustments or remedies.

Wicker seat appears dirty or dusty.

Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to gently remove dust and debris from the woven seat. For minor marks, a slightly damp (not wet) cloth can be used very carefully, ensuring to dry immediately.

Wood finish seems dull.

Wipe down the wooden frame with a soft, dry cloth. For a slight refresh, a wood-care product specifically designed for natural oak finishes can be applied sparingly, following product instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The FDB Mobler J80 Chair typically arrives fully assembled, ready for immediate use. No complex setup is required.

Compatibility: This chair is designed to fit seamlessly with standard dining tables and fits well in various room sizes and interior design schemes, from classic to modern-inspired. It pairs well with natural wood finishes and other organic materials.

Care Instructions:

  • Wood Frame: Wipe the oak frame with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the finish.
  • Woven Seat: The handwoven paper string seat requires gentle care. Vacuum the seat regularly using a brush attachment to remove dust. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use water or cleaning solutions directly on the seat, as this can weaken the paper fibers and cause discoloration or damage. Professional cleaning may be recommended for stubborn stains.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check that all parts are secure. The natural wood may age gracefully over time, developing a unique patina.
