Troubleshooting

Paper cord seat feels loose or stretched.

This can occur due to humidity. Allow the chair to acclimatize in a normal room environment. Minor stretching is normal with use; significant looseness may require professional attention or re-weaving.

Wood frame has minor scuffs or marks.

For oil finishes, gently buff the area with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper marks on oiled finishes, you may consider applying a small amount of wood oil specifically designed for furniture care, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Chair wobbles.

Ensure the chair is on a level surface. Check that all components are secure. Minor wobbling on uneven floors is common; consider using felt pads on the legs.
