FAQs

Are stools and ottomans suitable for everyday high-traffic use?

Yes, their classic construction makes them perfect for daily life. Built with durable materials like solid rubberwood and premium upholstery, our stools and ottomans are designed to provide lasting support and comfort. They generally fit true to their purpose, but always check the specific weight capacity and dimensions to ensure the perfect fit for your lifestyle.

Can I use a stool as a bedside table or a plant stand?

Absolutely. The beauty of these pieces is their "do-anything" versatility. A sleek minimalist stool works perfectly as an innovative side table in a compact bedroom, while a sturdy wooden stool can easily elevate a potted plant. It's about taking a legendary design and reimagining it for your unique needs.

How do I maintain the "fresh out of the box" look for my ottoman?

To keep your textures looking vibrant, vacuum fabric surfaces once a week with a soft brush attachment. For leather or synthetic leather, a quick wipe with a damp cloth is all you need to maintain that premium finish. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent colour fading, ensuring your statement piece remains an icon in your home for years to come.

What is the difference between a bar stool and a counter stool?

It's all about the height of your "court". Counter stools are generally lower (60cm to 65cm) to fit under standard kitchen islands, while bar stools are taller (75cm) to match elevated home bars. Measure your surface height before you commit to ensure you have the 25 cm to 30 cm of legroom needed for that perfect, comfortable seat.
