The frame is made from birch veneer and plywood. The material is presented in three colors: white, brown and black-brown. The base of the chair can be made of metal, which has a positive effect on the durability and stability of the structure. Upholstery is available in several options:
- For the rocking chair, 100% cotton, Wisland and Stanley fabrics are used.
- For other models, a mixture of cotton, polyester, viscose, linen, and Kimstad textiles is used.
Kimstad is a durable canvas with a polymer coating. The only drawback is that the material cannot be washed, only wiping with a damp cloth is permissible. With careful use, it lasts a long time and is resistant to abrasion.
The lounger, the classic swivel Poeng chair, is often trimmed with leather. The Glose variety is made from durable cattle hides; after special processing, the canvas becomes soft and velvety. Smeeding is the result of tanning goatskin. These types of upholstery are not afraid of dirt and sunlight, however, they require proper care.
The finishing of footstools and pillows is made from the same materials, which allows you to create harmonious ensembles with the same design. Most models come with removable covers that are machine washable. As for colors, there are about 15 options, both plain and printed.
An armchair with a plain finish will fit well into the decor of a bedroom or living room. Children's covers are usually made in bright colors and complemented with cheerful pictures.
Manufacturing materials
For the manufacture of the base, upholstery, and filling of the seat, only safe materials are used. For example, the frame is made of wood: birch, rattan, pine and beech. Additionally, veneer, plywood, fiberboard, recycled solid cardboard, and metal can be used.

- polyurethane foam is a plastic furniture foam rubber that gives a sofa or armchair softness and elasticity;
- polyester wadding - thin, soft, high-strength fibers with memory effect.
