FAQs
What type of wood is the Chaise Tout Bois Chair made from?
The chair is constructed entirely from solid oak wood.
Is the chair suitable for outdoor use?
No, this chair is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to the elements can damage the wood.
How much weight can the chair support?
The design specifically addresses and enhances strength at the transition point between the seat and backrest, intended to support significant load weight from a sitting person. Specific weight limits are best confirmed with Vitra's official product specifications.
Does the chair require assembly?
Typically, the Vitra Chaise Tout Bois Chair arrives fully assembled and ready for use.
What is the finish on the oak wood?
The chair features a natural finish that highlights the grain and color of the solid oak wood.
Can the chair be stained or painted a different color?
While it's possible to modify the finish, it is not recommended as it can compromise the integrity of the wood and the intended design. Professional advice should be sought before undertaking any such modification.
What are the dimensions of the chair?
Specific dimensions should be checked on the official Vitra product page, as they can vary slightly or have specific measurements for seat height, depth, and overall chair height.
Troubleshooting
Chair feels unstable or wobbly
Ensure the chair is placed on a level surface. Check that all structural joints are secure; if any feel loose, consult the manufacturer's guidelines or a professional for tightening, though typically it should remain stable due to its solid wood construction.
Minor scratches or marks on the wood surface
For light scratches, you may be able to use a wood-care product suitable for solid oak. For deeper damage, professional wood refinishing might be necessary.
Wood appears dry or dull
Apply a small amount of specialized wood oil or conditioner designed for solid oak furniture, following the product's instructions carefully. Ensure it's a product that won't alter the color significantly.
