Would this rattan dining chair squeak on hard floors? (and how to fix it)
It’s possible, yes — like many wood or rattan chairs, a slight squeak can happen when placed on hard floors, especially if the surface isn’t perfectly level or the chair legs shift under weight.
✅ How to Fix It:
-
Add felt pads or rubber feet to the bottom of each leg — this reduces friction and absorbs movement.
-
Check leg balance — if one leg is slightly off, a small adhesive floor pad can even things out.
-
Keep the floor clean — dust or grit under the feet can cause noise as the chair moves.
-
Tighten joints — if it’s a flat-pack or assembled chair, give screws or bolts a quick check to ensure they’re secure.
Most squeaks are easy fixes, and if your chair’s well-built (like ours), it’ll settle in quickly. Want it pre-padded? Just ask — we’re happy to help.
