Know before you buy
While the chair is crafted from durable, oiled oak, it is intended for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements may compromise the finish and the integrity of the wood over time.
No, the Vester Chair arrives fully assembled and ready for immediate use.
The legs are designed with a softly rounded profile that allows you to hang a handbag or small tote directly on the frame, keeping your belongings off the floor while you sit.
The integrated brass rod serves as a functional handle, making it easy to grip and move the chair around your space as needed.
To maintain the wood's appearance and longevity, periodically apply a wood oil suitable for oak. Avoid harsh cleaners and wipe away spills immediately to prevent staining.
The chair is designed to be comfortable on its own, but the Tärnsjö aniline leather cushion adds a layer of softness and a refined aesthetic. It is a great choice if you plan on using the chair for extended periods.
