Q: Does it fit through standard doorways when folded?

A: Yes, it passes through a standard 1980mm UK doorway, allowing convenient movement and storage between rooms.

Q: What environments is the beech finish best suited to?

A: The warm beech laminate is ideal for older student settings such as sixth forms, study zones, youth centres and FE dining spaces requiring a more mature look.

Q: Is the unit strong enough for high-footfall use?

A: Yes. It is engineered with a water-resistant MDF core, durable laminate, tough edging and a strong steel frame built for daily institutional use.

Q: Can one person move the bench safely?

A: The heavy-duty castors make movement easier, but Cobolt recommends two-person handling for safe control in busy secondary corridors.

Q: How fast can the bench be folded away?

A: The one-piece folding mechanism allows fast pack-down, ideal for multi-use halls switching between dining, exams or assemblies.

Q: Is the bench FIRA certified?

A: Yes. FIRA certification verifies strength, safety and suitability for daily educational use in secondary and FE environments.

Q: How do we maintain the beech laminate surface?

A: Use non-abrasive cleaning products and soft cloths. The hygiene-lock position stabilises the bench during quick clean-downs between groups.

Q: What does the Cobolt 16-year warranty include?

A: It covers all welded joints and the folding mechanism, offering long-term confidence for schools, MATs and colleges investing in durable dining furniture.

Q: Is this suitable for staff breakout areas too?

A: Yes. Its higher working height and professional finish make it equally suitable for staff rooms, shared offices and public-sector dining spaces.

Q: Can Cobolt support multi-school procurement?

A: Absolutely. Cobolt regularly supports MATs and councils with coordinated delivery, installation and standardised layouts across multiple sites.
