Troubleshooting
Surface scratching
Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with a furniture polish appropriate for lacquered wood. For deeper scratches, consult a furniture restoration professional.
Wood discoloration
Discoloration is often due to prolonged sun exposure or spills. Move the bench away from direct sunlight and ensure immediate cleanup of any liquid. Regular conditioning with a wood-safe product may help maintain color.
Wobbling or instability
Ensure the bench is placed on a level surface. If it continues to wobble, check if any leg fittings are loose and tighten them carefully. If the issue persists, contact Vitra customer support.
