What is FIKAFast?

FIKAFast combines a focused collection of wooden contract chairs with the flexibility of upholstery completed in-house at Tabilo.

The process is simple:

Choose your chair: Borg, Skagen or Garda.
Choose your frame stain: Oak or Walnut.
Choose your upholstery: one of 19 in-stock Seren faux leather colours.

Send your chosen combination and quantity to your Tabilo account manager, and our team will help you take the next step.

Whether you are expanding an online furniture collection or specifying chairs for a commercial project, FIKAFast offers more choice through a straightforward selection process.

Three Wooden Chair Designs: Borg, Skagen and Garda

The FIKAFast range includes Borg, Skagen and Garda, giving customers three distinctive designs to consider for their interior scheme.

A focused collection makes it easier to compare options while still offering variety. Choose a design that complements the setting, then personalise its appearance through the frame stain and upholstery colour.

For contract furniture resellers, this creates opportunities to offer a broader selection from three core designs. For project suppliers, it provides flexibility when coordinating seating with tables, finishes and the wider interior.

Oak or Walnut Frame Stains

Each FIKAFast chair is available in Oak or Walnut frame stains, allowing you to tailor the look to your customer’s space.

Oak brings a lighter appearance that works well with contemporary, Scandinavian-inspired interiors. Walnut offers a deeper tone for schemes that call for warmth and richer contrasts.

Pair either stain with your chosen Seren upholstery to create a coordinated finish or a more expressive colour combination.

19 Seren Faux Leather Colours

Upholstery can change the character of a chair—and the room around it.

With 19 in-stock Seren faux leather colours, FIKAFast offers options ranging from versatile neutrals to stronger statement shades. Consider Mustard for a warm accent, Cobalt Blue for a bold feature or Putty and Chinchilla for a softer palette.

This flexibility helps you respond to different customer briefs:

Hospitality: coordinate seating with the colours and atmosphere of restaurants, cafés and hotels.
Workplace: introduce neutrals or accent colours into breakout and collaborative spaces.
Social spaces: use upholstery colour to bring character to shared interiors.

Request Seren samples to compare colours alongside other materials before choosing your combination.

Upholstered In-House at Tabilo

Every FIKAFast chair is upholstered in-house by the Tabilo team, giving us greater control over the upholstery process and helping us provide a quick turnaround.

With an estimated lead time of 5 working days, the service supports customers looking for personalised seating on shorter project timelines.*

It also gives resellers a clear service to promote: a choice of chair design, frame stain and upholstery colour, brought together by one supplier.

A Five-Year Structural Warranty

Every FIKAFast chair comes with Tabilo’s five-year structural warranty, providing added reassurance when supplying seating for commercial environments.

Alongside the choice of finishes and in-house upholstery, this makes FIKAFast a practical option for trade customers seeking wooden contract chairs for their collections and projects.

FAQs

What if I don’t accept delivery or can’t take goods on the agreed date?

If you fail to take delivery, or we can’t deliver because instructions, documents or authorisations weren’t provided, risk passes to you, the goods are treated as delivered, and we may store them at your cost (including storage and insurance) until you’re ready to receive them.

At what point am I responsible for the goods?

Goods are at your risk from the point of delivery. In transit, we retain the risk until the delivery point — if goods are damaged in transit, notify us in writing within 48 hours of delivery, describing the damage and its extent as far as possible, and we’ll arrange a replacement.

Can prices change after I’ve received a quote?

We may increase the price before delivery if our costs rise due to factors outside our control (for example materials, labour, packaging, transport, tariffs or regulatory changes), or if you request changes to delivery dates, quantities or specifications.

Can I withhold or deduct payment if I have a dispute?

No. Payments must be made in full without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, unless a court order specifically requires otherwise. Disputed claims don’t entitle you to withhold payment.

What happens if I pay late?

Interest is charged on overdue amounts at 4% above HSBC’s base lending rate, accruing daily until payment is made. We also reserve the right to suspend or cancel future deliveries until outstanding sums are settled.

How long is a quotation valid for?

Unless a different period is stated on the quotation, quotes are valid for 30 days, provided we haven’t withdrawn it in the meantime.

When is payment due?

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is due by the later of delivery (or deemed delivery) of the goods, and the date we issue the invoice. Time for payment is treated as essential to the contract.

Are product images and samples an exact representation?

Images, drawings, specifications and marketing materials (including on our website and in catalogues) are illustrative only and give an approximate idea of the goods — this is not a sale by sample. Colour, finish and material appearance can vary slightly due to screen settings, photography, lighting and natural material characteristics. We recommend requesting samples before

When is my order officially accepted?

An order or accepted quotation is treated as your offer to buy. It’s only confirmed once we issue a written acknowledgement of order, or, if earlier, once we deliver the goods to you.

Can I cancel or change my order?

Stock items: we will do our best to accommodate changes or cancellations. However, stock items are often dispatched the same day, so once dispatched, changes cannot be made.

When will my order be delivered?

Delivery charges may apply and are not always included in product pricing unless otherwise agreed. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the cost of delivery is not included in the price for the goods, and we reserve the right to charge for delivery as stated in our published catalogue at the time of delivery, or as

Are delivery dates guaranteed?

Delivery dates are estimates only. While we aim to deliver within expected timeframes, delays caused by transport, suppliers, public holidays, or circumstances beyond our control may occur. Time for delivery is not treated as essential to the contract, and standard delays don’t entitle you to cancel the contract or reject further deliveries unless the delay

Can deliveries arrive in separate shipments?

Yes. Some orders may be delivered in separate instalments depending on stock availability or logistics. Each instalment is treated as a separate contract, so an issue with one instalment doesn’t automatically entitle you to cancel the rest of the order.

Who is responsible for loading and unloading?

You’re responsible for providing suitable equipment and labour for loading or unloading at the delivery point, at your own cost.

At what point am I responsible for the goods?

Goods are at your risk from the point of delivery. In transit, we retain the risk until the delivery point.

When do I legally own the goods?

Ownership doesn’t pass to you until we’ve received payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for those goods and any other sums you owe us. Until then, you must store the goods separately and keep them identifiable as our property, avoid defacing or removing identifying marks or packaging, keep the goods insured for their

What is your returns policy?

How do I arrange a return?

Please contact our support team by phone or email to discuss the issue and arrange collection or return instructions.

Who pays for return shipping?

If the item is faulty or defective, we cover return shipping costs. If you changed your mind, you are responsible for return shipping costs, and delivery charges already paid are non-refundable.

Are there any return conditions?

Yes. Returned goods must be unused, in their original packaging, and in re-saleable condition (determined at our discretion).

When will I receive my refund?

Refunds are generally processed within 5 business days of receiving and inspecting the returned item.

What warranty do you provide?

We offer a 5-year structural warranty on all products sourced from approved manufacturers.

What is not covered under warranty?

The warranty does not cover misuse, accidental damage, improper installation or storage, normal wear and tear, or unauthorised repairs or modifications.

How long do I have to report a fault?

You need to give us written notice of a defect within 14 days of discovering it (or when you ought reasonably to have discovered it), and in any event within one year of delivery. We’ll need a reasonable opportunity to examine the goods, which may mean returning them to us.

How do I make a warranty claim?

Please contact us with your order number, a description of the issue, and photos where possible. We may request inspection or return of the product. At our option, we’ll repair, replace, or refund the goods at the pro-rata contract price.

Does this warranty apply to bespoke or specially sourced items?

Where goods are made or sourced to your specification, our obligation is limited to producing or sourcing within the specification you provided. You won’t have a right to reject such goods or cancel the order on the basis of the specification itself.

How do I care for my furniture?

We recommend avoiding direct sunlight and excessive heat, cleaning with a soft, damp cloth, and using appropriate care products for specific materials. Care guidance is available on request.

What counts as a circumstance beyond your control?

This can include events such as acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, fire, flood, epidemic or pandemic, cyber-attacks or IT failures, strikes or labour disputes, sub-contractor failure, or delays affecting carriers or the supply of materials. In these situations, we may defer delivery, reduce order volumes, or cancel the contract without liability.
