FAQs

What is the difference between the 65cm and 75cm height models?

The 65cm model is designed for standard kitchen counter height, typically around 90cm. The 75cm model is designed for bar-height tables or counters, which are usually around 100-110cm high.

What is the seat made of?

The seat is made of durable polypropylene, a versatile plastic known for its strength and ease of cleaning.

What material is the frame made of?

The frame is made of steel. It is available in finishes such as black powder-coated steel or stainless steel.

Is assembly required?

Yes, some assembly is typically required to attach the seat to the base. This is usually a straightforward process.

How do I clean the black powder-coated frame?

Wipe the frame with a soft, damp cloth. Mild soap and water can be used for dirt, followed by drying with a clean cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the finish.

Can this stool be used outdoors?

The HAY About A Stool 38 is primarily designed for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to outdoor elements may damage the materials and finish.

What is the weight capacity of the stool?

While specific weight capacities can vary slightly, this stool is designed for sturdy residential and commercial use. It is built to be robust and reliable for everyday sitting.

Troubleshooting

Stool wobbles or is unstable.

Ensure all screws connecting the seat to the frame are fully tightened. Check that the stool is placed on a level surface. If the issue persists, inspect the sled base for any damage or unevenness.

Seat or frame has minor scuffs or marks.

For polypropylene seats, try cleaning with a mild soap and damp cloth. For steel frames, use a soft cloth and mild cleaning solution. For persistent marks, consult specific care instructions for the material finish.

Screws are difficult to tighten.

Ensure you are using the correct screwdriver and that the screw is properly aligned with the pre-drilled hole. Do not force screws; if resistance is significant, check for any obstructions or damage to the threads.

Ensure all screws are tightened firmly but avoid over-tightening to prevent damage. Refer to the specific assembly instructions included with your product for detailed steps.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your stool:

Seat: Clean the polypropylene seat with a soft, damp cloth. Mild soap and water can be used for tougher spots, followed by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Frame: Wipe the steel frame with a damp cloth. For powder-coated finishes, ensure the cloth is soft to prevent scratching. Dry thoroughly. For stainless steel, a specialized stainless steel cleaner can be used sparingly if needed.
Glides: If your stool has glides, check them periodically for wear and tear. Clean them as needed to ensure they protect your flooring.
