Know before you buy
Yes, the chair is designed for the outdoors, featuring a solid teak frame and weather-resistant Barriere textile. While the materials are highly durable, we recommend covering the chair or storing it during harsh winter months to maintain the wood's finish and extend the life of the cushions.
Teak is a natural material that will develop a silvery-grey patina when exposed to the elements. If you prefer to maintain the original golden-brown color, you can treat the wood periodically with a high-quality teak oil.
The Barriere textile covers are water and dirt-repellent, making them easy to spot clean. For a deeper clean, the covers can typically be removed, but please check the specific care label attached to your cushions for the manufacturer's recommended washing instructions.
The cushions are filled with Fossflakes, an allergy-friendly material that mimics the properties of down. It is designed to maintain its volume and shape over time, ensuring the chair remains comfortable and supportive even after frequent use.
The Virkelyst Chair is designed for longevity and structural integrity. Depending on your delivery method, some minor assembly may be required, though the construction is straightforward and follows standard high-end furniture assembly practices.
Yes, the Barriere textile used for the upholstery is Oeko-Tex certified. This certification ensures that the fabric has been tested for harmful substances, making it a safe and reliable choice for outdoor lounging.
