Troubleshooting

Chair wobbles

Ensure the chair is on a level surface. Check if all connections are secure. If felt gliders are attached, ensure they are evenly placed.

Scratches on wood veneer

For minor scratches, try a wood repair crayon or touch-up pen matching the Dark bordeaux stain. For deeper damage, consult a furniture restoration specialist.

Stacking is difficult

Ensure chairs are aligned correctly before attempting to stack. Check for any debris or obstructions on the chair legs or seat edges that might prevent smooth stacking.

Frame finish is dull

Wipe the frame with a soft, dry cloth. For persistent dullness on coated metal, a mild, non-abrasive cleaner followed by a polish suitable for metal finishes may be used, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
