Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The armchair is designed for straightforward assembly. Ensure all components are present before beginning. Typically, the seat shell attaches to the swivel base, often with provided screws. Refer to the included assembly instructions for precise steps, as specific hardware may vary.

Compatibility: The four-star swivel base is designed for general use on most office or home flooring. However, for delicate surfaces such as hardwood or polished concrete, it is recommended to use a floor protector or rug underneath the chair to prevent potential scratches from the base's feet. The chair's design is intended for indoor use.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Layout Armchair, clean the recycled plastic shell with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the material. The aluminium base can be wiped clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Periodically check that all screws and connections remain tight to ensure continued stability and safety.
