Product Overview: Size 5 (430mm) Traditional 4-Legged School Chair
The Cobolt CH81114 Traditional School Chair is engineered specifically for the transition into secondary education. Supplied with Free UK Mainland Delivery, it is designed to survive the "school test"—constant movement, heavy daily use, and the high-pressure environment of Years 7, 8, and 9.
The Cobolt Advantage
- Budget Longevity: With a 5-year commercial warranty and FIRA certification, we provide a reliable, long-term asset that reduces the need for frequent replacement cycles
- Estates-Friendly Identification: Colour-coded feet allow site teams to instantly identify seat heights, making room reconfigurations and summer audits effortless
- Classroom Order: The traditional 4-legged geometry provides a familiar, stable base that encourages focused study and maintains an orderly classroom environment
Ergonomics & Sustainability
- Postural Support: The shell is sculpted with well-defined lumbar support, mirroring the spine's natural curve to prevent discomfort during long lessons
- Circular Economy: Designed for responsible disposal; the chair can be fully disassembled into metal and plastic parts for 100% recycling through specialist providers
- Waterfall Edge: The curved front seat maintains healthy blood flow during double periods or exam sessions, preventing student restlessness

FAQs: The UK’s Leading School Seating Solutions
Q: What is the "Size 5" 430mm height suitable for?
A: Size 5 (430mm seat height) is the industry standard for students aged 11-14 years. It is specifically dimensioned for early secondary education (Years 7, 8, and 9), ensuring their feet rest comfortably on the floor while maintaining correct spinal alignment during long double periods.
Q: Why are the feet colour-coded on school chairs?
A: Colour-coding the feet is an estates-friendly feature that allows staff to instantly identify the seat height of a chair from across a room. This simplifies room reconfigurations and furniture audits, especially in large secondary schools with multiple year groups sharing facilities.
Q: What does "FIRA Certified" mean for my school?
A: FIRA Certification means the chair has been independently tested by the Furniture Industry Research Association. It confirms the chair meets strict British and European standards for school furniture strength, stability, and ergonomics.
Q: How many of these chairs can be safely stacked?
A: These traditional 4-legged chairs are designed for high-density storage and can be safely stacked up to 8 high. This is ideal for clearing classrooms for deep cleaning or for setting up multipurpose halls for exams and school events.
Q: How do I maintain these chairs for the long term?
A: We recommend checking the frame and top connections every six months. The feet should be inspected periodically and replaced if worn. For cleaning, simply use a warm, damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner to maintain the polypropylene shell.
Q: Are these secondary school chairs environmentally friendly?
A: Yes. These chairs are designed for a circular economy. They can be completely disassembled into metal and plastic parts, allowing each material to be responsibly recycled at the end of their service life.
Q: What is the standard delivery time for these chairs?
A: Our standard delivery time is 4 weeks. Please note that during peak periods, specifically the school summer holidays, lead times may extend. We recommend ordering early for September school refits.
Q: Why should my school buy from Cobolt Furniture?
A: With over 50 years of heritage, we are a trusted partner to the UK public sector. We offer Free UK Mainland Delivery, FIRA-certified products, and a commitment to sustainability that helps your school estate run responsibly.
