Recommended Ongoing Maintenance

We designed these chairs to be long-lasting and repairable. Given the nature of chair use, it's very important for chairs to have the ability to flex under human body weight or uneven floors (even subtle ones). Engineering flex into the furniture is part of what will make it last a very long time.

If you are experiencing any creaking as your chair settles in, retightening the screws using the Fyrn tool will help ensure the longevity of your furniture.

We recommend that you retighten the screws on your furniture about a month after assembly and then as needed, depending on the type of use. In most residential settings, retightening beyond the first month is rarely necessary.

Each piece of furniture we make is unique, and includes inherent variations of the natural materials we use. At Fyrn, we celebrate those differences and believe that it makes each piece special. These variations represent the character and unique back story of the material before it was re-shaped and transformed into your furniture. To us, these marks add meaning, and allow us to embrace the many beautiful complexities of Mother Nature. In leather, these may take the form of shading, scars or slight creases in the material, while wood may have occasional knots, color variation, or inconsistent graining. We don’t believe in wasting material so our highest priority is to choose wood, metal, and upholstery that will last. 

This story continues to evolve as you own and use the furniture. Dents, scratches, and dings are a normal part of everyday life and are not to be feared. In fact, we love to see this happen because it shows that our products are being used which is most important to us. Like a well broken-in baseball glove, this normal wear and tear will eventually blend to become part of the aged surface, making the Fyrn piece unique to you and your family or establishment. For regular cleaning and maintenance of the furniture, we suggest: 

Wood Care: 

Wipe the wood with a damp cloth as needed and dry immediately. 

If you need something beyond water, use a watered down soap solution. Dry immediately and never leave the wood surfaces wet. 

Leather Care: 

Leather is a natural, porous material, so while conditioning and care will always help, there is nothing that will prevent oils and the like from causing some stains or marks. In many cases these work themselves out over time and become part of the patina, but the material is not stain-proof. 

To protect your leather before it leaves our workshop, we apply an initial coat of Guardsman Protect & Preserve. 

Use of a leather conditioner or cleaner may change the color of your leather. As such, if you decide to use any product, we recommend you test a small, hidden area prior to full application. 

How do I disassemble the furniture for purposes of moving?

Our furniture is not intended for repeated disassembly and assembly by customers. In order to avoid unintended damage, lost parts, or inconvenience, we don't recommend disassembling the furniture when moving. However, if you are returning an item or must disassemble the furniture for some reason, please contact customer service info@fyrn.com so that we can provide you with video instructions to ensure the process goes smoothly.

Is my furniture repairable if something breaks?

Our furniture is designed and built to be durable, but we understand life is unpredictable and accidents will happen. We created the Stemn system of furniture so that, in most cases, any piece can easily be repaired. Please contact our customer team info@fyrn.com if you require a repair or part replacement, and we’ll be happy to help.
