Armrests
Armrests are the part of a chair most likely to be damaged. When the armrest sits higher than the desk edge, it catches the desktop every time the chair is pushed in. That causes scratches, scuffing, and eventually structural damage to the pads and posts.
- Boardrooms and meeting rooms are the highest risk. These chairs usually come with fixed height armrests and are made from premium materials such as aluminium and leather. While these chairs are a statement piece for these areas, these features also make them more susceptible to damage.
- Options are available to fix the seat height adjustment so in most cases the arms do not clash with the table or desk.
Please note: damage to armrests, arm pads or posts caused by contact with a desk, table or other fixture is not covered by the SitLab warranty.
Surface care
- Vacuum fabric and mesh regularly on low suction. Mesh can also be wiped with a barely damp cloth.
- Do not scrub, stretch or lean objects against mesh. It is tensioned and will not recover its shape.
- Wipe spills on leather and PU leather with a soft cloth and warm water.
- Do not use solvents, aerosols, polishes or abrasive cloths, and never spray cleaner directly onto mesh.
- Keep out of direct sunlight. UV fading is not covered by warranty.
- Leather — treat annually with a leather renovating cream. Test on a hidden area first.
- PU leather — never use a leather renovating cream.
General care
- Deal with spills immediately. Gently scrape off solids or blot liquid — do not rub.
- Do not saturate the fabric or the foam beneath it.
- The gas lift needs no maintenance. Never tamper with, dismantle or remove it.
Please don't
- Sit on the back of the chair.
- Stand on the chair.
- Leave it outdoors or in damp conditions.
Looking after the chair keeps your warranty intact. Damage from incorrect cleaning is not covered.
