The chair comes with dark glides designed for use on carpet. It can be used on hard floors, but care should be taken to avoid scratches.

Troubleshooting

Chair wobbles on the floor

Ensure the chair is placed on a level surface. Check that the legs of the Eiffel Tower base are evenly on the ground. If the issue persists, the glides may need adjustment or replacement.

Scuff marks on the seat

For minor scuff marks on the polypropylene, try using a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be carefully used, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Base feels unstable

Verify that all wire elements of the base are securely connected (if applicable via a connection point). Ensure the chair has not been subjected to excessive weight or stress beyond its intended capacity.

Pros and Cons

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Vitra DSR Chair typically arrives fully assembled. Ensure the chair is placed on a level surface. The glides are pre-attached.

Compatibility:

  • The chair is designed for use on carpeted surfaces due to its integrated dark glides. While it can be used on hard floors, the glides are primarily intended for carpet to prevent scratching and offer stability.
  • The polypropylene seat is compatible with most standard cleaning agents.

Care:

  • Seat: Wipe the polypropylene seat clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Base: Dust the steel wire base regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Ensure no moisture is left on the steel to prevent potential rust over time.
