Frequently Asked Questions

A quick inspection helps you avoid wobbles, hidden damage and uncomfortable seating.

  • Stability: sit and gently rock to check for looseness in joints or legs.

  • Frame condition: look for cracks, splits, rust or bent metal.

  • Upholstery: check seams, stains and odours, and ask if covers are removable or washable.

  • Comfort: confirm seat height and depth suit your table, desk or counter.

Stool height matters for comfort and leg room, especially for counter seating.

  • Measure the surface height (floor to underside) and aim for 25–30cm of clearance from seat to countertop.

  • Check footrests and back support if you’ll sit for longer periods.

  • If in doubt, an adjustable stool gives flexibility for different users.

The “best” material depends on where you’ll use it and how much maintenance you want.

  • Wood: sturdy and easy to refresh, but check for loose joints or wobble.

  • Metal: great for durability; look for rust, scratches and stable welds.

  • Fabric/velvet: cosy, but inspect for stains and ask about cleaning.

  • Leather/faux leather: wipe-clean; check for cracking, peeling or worn corners.

Many sellers offer collection, and some can help with local delivery depending on size and distance.

  • Ask upfront if delivery is available and whether there’s a fee.

  • Confirm item dimensions so you can plan transport, doorways and stair access.

  • Agree a clear time window and payment method before travelling.

Comfort is personal, so it’s worth checking measurements and testing where possible.

  • Seat height: your feet should rest flat on the floor (or on a footrest for stools).

  • Back support: look for solid lumbar support if using for a desk or long sitting.

  • Cushioning: check for sagging foam or uneven padding, especially on older upholstered chairs.
