Repair your Anker
Shit happens. Sometimes a wooden plank breaks, dies or goes south.
Hey! You don’t need to be an engineer to understand our products and you don’t even need to be great at DIY to replace a part. Do make sure that the damage can't be repaired by simply sanding the wood. If that’s not possible, we're here to help you replace a bench plank or tabletop plank of the Anker six-seater picnic table.

Our maintenance tools
It's a kind of magic
Wood gradually becomes rougher and starts to turn gray as a consequence of exposure to the sun and rain. We strongly advise treating your Anker with our Wood Protector to keep the planks stable and to keep stains from penetrating the wood. It is best to repeat this treatment yearly.
We offer a fine selection of maintenance tools that help you keep your Extremis furniture in shape in our webshop.
