Setup and Assembly

- Unpack all components and verify that all parts listed in the "Package Contents" section are present.
- Lay out all wooden frame pieces on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratching.
- Identify the main frame sections (legs, backrest, seat frame).

- Connect the armrests to the main frame, if applicable.
- Once all components are loosely assembled, place the chair upright and gently tighten all screws. This allows the chair to settle into its natural position before final tightening.

Operating Instructions
The vidaXL garden chairs are designed for easy folding and unfolding, making them convenient for storage and transport.
Unfolding the Chair:
- Hold the top of the backrest and the front of the seat.
- Gently pull the backrest and seat apart until the chair fully extends and locks into its open position. Ensure all locking mechanisms (if present) are engaged.
- Verify the chair is stable before sitting.
Folding the Chair:
- Ensure no one is sitting on the chair.
- Locate the folding mechanism (usually a hinge or release point near the seat or legs).
- Carefully push the seat upwards and the backrest downwards, allowing the chair to collapse. Keep hands clear of pinch points.
- Once folded, the chair can be easily stored or transported.

Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your garden chairs.
- Acacia Wood Care: The solid Acacia wood is oiled for protection. To maintain its appearance and weather resistance, re-oil the wood periodically (e.g., once or twice a year, depending on exposure to elements) with a suitable outdoor wood oil. Clean the wood with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly before re-oiling.
- Polypropylene Seat/Back Care: Clean the polypropylene material with a soft cloth, mild soap, and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- General Cleaning: Wipe down the chairs regularly with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, especially during harsh weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, extreme sun), it is recommended to store the chairs indoors or cover them with a protective outdoor furniture cover.
- Hardware: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Retighten as necessary to maintain stability.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Chair feels wobbly after assembly. | Screws are not fully tightened or unevenly tightened. | Ensure all screws are tightened evenly and securely. If necessary, loosen all screws slightly, place the chair on a flat surface, apply gentle pressure to settle it, then retighten all screws. |
| Difficulty folding/unfolding the chair. | Mechanism is stiff or obstructed. | Check for any debris or obstructions in the folding mechanism. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to hinges if stiffness persists. Ensure the chair is not on an uneven surface. |
| Wood appears dry or faded. | Lack of regular oiling or prolonged exposure to sun/rain. | Clean the wood thoroughly and apply a fresh coat of outdoor wood oil. Regular maintenance is key to preventing this. |
| Polypropylene material looks dirty. | Accumulation of dirt, dust, or mildew. | Clean with a soft cloth, mild soap, and water. For mildew, a diluted bleach solution (1 part bleach to 10 parts water) can be used, followed by thorough rinsing. |
