Troubleshooting

Chair wobbles slightly.

Ensure the chair is on a level surface. Check if all joints are secure. If the wobble persists and the chair is new, contact customer support.

Paper string seat feels loose.

This can occur with changes in humidity. Ensure the seat is kept in a stable environment. Gentle vacuuming can help maintain tautness. If the looseness is significant, consult the manufacturer's guidelines.

Frame has minor scuffs.

For light scuffs on the oak frame, use a furniture-specific repair crayon or marker that matches the wood finish. For deeper damage, professional refinishing may be required.
