Wobbling or instability
Ensure the chair is on a level surface. Check if all leg joints are secure. If instability persists, contact customer support as there might be a manufacturing defect.
Discoloration on straw seat
Immediately blot any liquid spills with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using water excessively. If staining occurs, consult a professional furniture restorer specializing in cane or straw.
