Frequently Asked Questions
What should I check before buying a used chair or stool?
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.
How do I choose the right stool height for a kitchen island or bar?
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.
Which materials are best for second-hand chairs and stools?
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.
Can I arrange delivery for chairs and stools in Essex?
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.
How can I make sure a second-hand chair is comfortable and ergonomic?
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.
