Care
The oiled oak veneer leaves the wood looking natural and gives a soft surface. Over time it will develop a natural patina, enhancing the beauty of the material. Dust can be removed using a dry soft cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush. Cleaning of the wood can be done using a soft cloth wrung in lukewarm water stroking in the grain directions and immediately dry off with a soft cloth. If a more severe cleaning is needed, specific soap for oiled wood furniture can be used following the instructions of the packaging. Re-oiling can be done if the wood starts to look faded or the softness of the surface diminishes. Make sure to find the right oil for indoor wood furniture and follow the instructions of the packaging.
The black painted oak veneer can be regularly cleaned for dust by using a dry soft cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush. Cleaning of the wood can be done using a soft cloth wrung in lukewarm water with a mild solution of universal cleaning agent added. Dry off immediately using a soft cloth.
The powder coated steel can be cleaned by a soft dry cloth and if needed the soft dry cloth can be wrung in lukewarm water and gently applied and dry off with a dry cloth straight after. Avoid using aggressive cleaning detergents or abrasive cleaning agents as it can damage the surface permanently.
The FLOAT chair comes fully assembled (stacked by up to 4 chairs depending on the number of chairs purchased) in a solid outer box.
