FAQ

Q: What does "FAS-grade" mean and why does it matter?
A: FAS (First and Seconds) is the highest quality classification for North American hardwood lumber. It represents the top 20% of wood with minimal knots or defects, superior color consistency, and the best grain patterns. This means your chairs will have consistent appearance, exceptional strength, and beautiful natural character that improves with age—unlike lower grades that may have visible defects or inconsistent coloring.

Q: How many chairs should I order for a standard dining table?
A: For a standard rectangular table: 4-person table (120-150cm) = 4 chairs; 6-person table (160-180cm) = 6 chairs; 8-person table (200-240cm) = 8 chairs. Consider ordering 2 extra for flexibility or mismatched head-of-table seating.

Q: Is the linen upholstery easy to clean and maintain?
A: Yes. Linen-blend fabric resists staining better than pure linen and can be spot-cleaned with mild soap and water. For everyday maintenance, vacuum with a soft brush attachment. Unlike leather or vinyl, linen breathes naturally and doesn't become sticky or uncomfortable in warm weather. Professional cleaning is recommended for deep stains.

Q: Can these chairs work in a home office or study?
A: Absolutely. The 790mm height works perfectly with standard desks (720-760mm), and the ergonomic curved backrest supports proper posture during extended work sessions. Many customers use these as desk chairs because they're more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing than typical office chairs.

Q: Which finish should I choose for my interior?
A: Natural wood: Best for Scandinavian, coastal, or light minimalist spaces. Shows the raw beauty of ash grain. Black: Contemporary, modern, or industrial interiors. Creates bold contrast with light walls. Walnut: Mid-century modern, traditional, or warm contemporary spaces. Adds richness without heaviness. Consider your existing wood tones and overall color palette.

Q: Are these chairs suitable for commercial use in a café or restaurant?
A: Yes. The FAS-grade ash wood and commercial-grade construction make them suitable for commercial environments. The sturdy joinery handles frequent daily use, and the elegant design elevates café or restaurant aesthetics. For high-traffic commercial use, we recommend walnut or black finishes as they show wear less visibly than natural wood.

Q: How much assembly is required?
A: Minimal assembly required. Typically, you'll attach the legs to the seat base using provided hardware. Most customers complete assembly in 10-15 minutes per chair with basic tools (usually included). Clear instructions are provided.

Q: What's the weight capacity?
A: The FAS-grade ash wood frame and robust construction support typical adult users comfortably. While we don't publish a specific weight limit, the commercial-grade materials are designed for daily use in both residential and commercial settings.

Q: Do the cushions flatten over time?
A: The high-density foam padding is engineered to maintain its shape and support through years of daily use. Unlike budget chairs with thin padding, these cushions provide consistent comfort without significant flattening. Proper care (rotating chairs periodically) extends cushion life.
