Full details

FAQs

Is the C-Chair Outdoor suitable for all weather conditions?

The chair is crafted with solid teak and outdoor-friendly French cane, making it resilient for outdoor use. However, for maximum longevity and to preserve the appearance of the teak, it's best to protect it from extreme elements like prolonged heavy rain or harsh sun exposure when possible.

How do I clean the French cane seating?

Gently wipe the cane with a slightly damp cloth. For dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe with a damp cloth and ensure it dries completely. Avoid soaking the cane.

Will the teak wood change color over time?

Yes, teak wood will naturally weather to a silvery-grey patina when exposed to sunlight and the elements. You can maintain its original golden-brown color by applying a teak-specific oil or sealant annually.

What are the exact dimensions of the chair?

The chair has a back height of 39 cm, a total height of 81 cm, a width of 41 cm, and a depth of 53 cm.

Do I need to assemble the chair?

No, the C-Chair Outdoor comes fully assembled and ready to be placed in your desired outdoor location.

What should I do if my delivery won't fit through my doorway?

It is crucial to measure all entry points before ordering. If the chair cannot be delivered due to entryway size, please contact customer service for options, keeping in mind that delivery logistics may apply.

Is the packaging removed after delivery?

No, the transporter will not remove or dispose of the item's packaging. Please be prepared to handle packaging removal and disposal yourself.

Troubleshooting

Chair wobbles when placed on a level surface.

Teak wood can expand and contract slightly with changes in humidity. Ensure all legs are making even contact with the ground. If the wobble persists, check if any leveling feet are present (though typically not on this design) or consider a subtle shim under one leg.

Cane appears loose or saggy.

While durable, extreme humidity fluctuations can affect cane. Ensure the chair is not left in excessively damp conditions for prolonged periods. Minor looseness may resolve as humidity stabilizes. Significant sagging might indicate a need for professional re-caning if beyond warranty.

White or greyish film on teak wood.

This is a natural sign of teak weathering. It is harmless and can be removed with a teak cleaner or by lightly sanding the surface. Alternatively, embrace the natural patina.

Pros and Cons

  • Comfortable and breathable seating surface.
  • High-quality craftsmanship from Gubi.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The C-Chair Outdoor arrives fully assembled, requiring no setup from the user beyond placing it in the desired location. It is advisable to verify that all entry points to your home (doorways, hallways, staircases) are sufficiently wide to accommodate the chair's dimensions (Height: 81 cm, Width: 41 cm, Depth: 53 cm) before finalising your order.

Compatibility:

This chair is designed for outdoor use and is compatible with various outdoor table heights and styles. Its balanced proportions ensure it can be used seamlessly around dining tables or as a standalone accent piece.

Care:

  • Teak Wood: To maintain the rich color of the teak, regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth is recommended. For deeper cleaning or to preserve its golden hue, use a mild soap and water solution, followed by rinsing and drying. Over time, teak will naturally weather to a silvery-grey patina if left untreated, which is also an accepted aesthetic. Applying a teak-specific oil or sealant annually can help protect the wood and prolong its original appearance.
  • French Cane: Clean the cane gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture. For tougher spots, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Ensure the cane is completely dry to prevent mold or mildew.
