IKEA VÄRMANSÖ table+6 chairs, outdoor instructions

The rattan on the chair backs can become loose over time, especially when exposed to moisture. To tighten or reattach the rattan, you can try the following:

1. Locate the rattan strands that have become loose. Gently pull them back into place and secure them using a small amount of outdoor-safe adhesive or sealant.

2. If the rattan is severely damaged or detached, you may need to replace it. Contact IKEA customer service to inquire about replacement rattan pieces for the VÄRMANSÖ chairs.

3. Regularly wipe down the chair frames with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris, which can contribute to the rattan becoming loose over time.

4. Consider applying a protective sealant or UV-resistant coating to the rattan to help prevent future loosening and damage, especially if the chairs are exposed to direct sunlight or heavy rain.

With some minor maintenance, you should be able to keep the VÄRMANSÖ chairs in good condition and prevent further issues with the rattan

The VÄRMANSÖ outdoor dining set is designed to be durable and low-maintenance, but over time the chair legs may develop some minor scratches. To help restore the smooth surface, you can try the following:

1. Clean the affected areas thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris.

2. Use a fine-grit sandpaper (220-grit or higher) to gently buff out the scratches. Be careful not to sand too aggressively, as this could damage the finish.

3. Once the scratches are minimized, you can apply a thin layer of furniture polish or wax specifically formulated for outdoor use. This will help protect the surface and restore a smooth, like-new appearance.

4. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing too hard, as this could further damage the finish. Regular gentle cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended to keep the set looking its best.

With some light maintenance, you can help maintain the attractive appearance of your VÄRMANSÖ outdoor dining set for many seasons to come
