The beauty of designer chairs lies not just in their form and function but also in their longevity. But with such diverse materials and craftsmanship, caring for them can be a nuanced dance, so you need to consider what you’re working with before planning how to care for it. 

Material Matters:

  • Leather: Treat it like your favourite jacket! Wipe clean with a damp cloth and a mild leather conditioner to nourish and prevent cracking. Avoid harsh chemicals and direct sunlight.
  • Upholstery: Fabric types call for different approaches. For wool or linen, regular vacuuming and occasional professional cleaning are key. For velvet, use a soft brush and a dedicated velvet cleaner. Always check cleaning instructions on the fabric tag.
  • Wood: Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners or polishes, as they can damage the finish. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and buff dry with a soft cloth.
  • Metal: Keep it polished with a metal cleaner specific to the type of metal used. Avoid abrasives, and be gentle around welds or delicate details.

Prevention is Key:

  • Sun protection: Keep your chair away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or discoloration. Consider curtains or blinds for extra shielding.
  • Spills and stains: Act fast! Blot spills immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth. For stubborn stains, consult a professional cleaner.
  • Weight distribution: Avoid overloading your chair or sitting in the same spot all the time to prevent uneven wear and tear.
  • Regular check-ups: Periodically (every 6 months or so) give your chair a thorough inspection for loose screws, wobbly joints, or any signs of damage. Address these promptly to avoid further issues.

When in Doubt:

Remember, every chair is unique! When you purchase your designer marvel, ask our sales team for specific care recommendations based on its materials and construction. They’re your go-to gurus for keeping your chair looking its best for years to come.

With a little TLC and these handy tips, your designer chair will remain a stunning centrepiece in your home, a testament to timeless design and meticulous care.

We understand the frustration of furniture assembly, but that will not be the case with the designer chairs we have on offer.

All of our furniture comes pre-assembled! No more deciphering cryptic instructions, fumbling with tiny screws, or wrestling with Allen keys. Just unpack, put your feet up, and enjoy your new lounge or dining chair in minutes.

All you will need to do is unpack, unwrap and place your new chair in the ideal part of your home.

Upholstered Furniture Warranty

Upholstered furniture is warranted for a period of 2 years from date of delivery/collection in respect of the frame and craftsmanship.

The warranty does not extend to the fabric or leather used to upholster the product as this is subject to wear and tear associated with use. Furthermore, usage and treatment in the customer’s environment is beyond Our control.

Warranties do not apply to:

  • Defects or damage arising from negligence, abuse or misuse, including (but not limited to) improper maintenance – referred to as ‘dressing’, exposure to water, direct sunlight, coastal air, chemicals, accidents, any use for which the product was not designed nor does it cover ordinary wear and tear;
  • Failure to comply with Our care instructions or specifications; and
  • Extreme use. Extreme use is considered to be damage caused by more than normal wear and tear this includes:
    • Solvent spills
    • Ink
    • Paint
    • Body fluids (human or animal)
    • Improper cleaning techniques
    • Placing furniture outdoors in direct sunlight (where the product was not made for this purpose as set out in the product page on the website) or in close proximity to an open heat source (heaters, fire places, open fire or barbeque stands)
    • Sitting on the arms and backs of furniture;
    • Jumping on or rocking in the furniture (where it was not made for this). 

Leather Warranty

We use natural top and full grain leather. Certain variations may occur. Dye lots may vary resulting in slight colour variations. No two hides are identical. Scratch marks, stretch marks, brand marks, scuff marks and tick bite marks are characteristics of natural leather and are often visible. These are not defects but are considered to add character to the leather. To make sure you take optimal care of your leather products, please read the care instructions which are available online.

Timber Warranty

Timber products are warranted for a period of 2 years from date of delivery/collection in respect of frame and workmanship. Should the original product be altered in any way, the warranty will be void.

Some products are made from reclaimed, recycled or salvaged wood and will therefore have nicks, marks and imperfections. Some products may have holes, cracks and metal visible and are most often handcrafted — creating character that is part of the look and/or design. These are not defects, signs of damage or poor quality. Some products are not sealed and therefore care needs to be taken during day to day use.

Some of our wood products have a very high moisture content. It is therefore recommended that these products are not placed on carpets or other surfaces where staining could occur. We will put the appropriate warnings in the product’s care instructions.

Some of our timber products have not been kiln-dried. Therefore, some residual moisture may remain. It is recommended that these products are not placed on carpets or other surfaces where staining could occur.

Refer to the Care Instructions of your product for guidance.

We will honour a warranty if:

  • The defect existed at the time of delivery and manifested during the warranty period;
  • The defect did not arise due to normal wear and tear or misuse/abuse by the customer;
  • The product concerned is used for the purpose intended and in a domestic environment (unless the latter requirement is waived by Us in writing). Commercial use of furniture is not covered by our product warranty;
  • The Customer duly complied with the care instructions and maintenance in respect of the Product;
  • The customer provides the original invoice;
  • The product is assembled by Us or by the customer in accordance with the suppliers’ specifications.
