FAQs: The UK’s Leading School Seating Solutions

Q: What is the "Size 3" 350mm height suitable for?

A: Size 3 (350mm seat height) is the industry standard for children aged 6-8 years. It ensures that their feet can rest flat on the floor while their backs are fully supported, which is essential for developing healthy spinal habits during mid-primary education.

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 a distance. This is incredibly helpful during summer room swaps or when organising furniture for different year groups.

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 stacked together?

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 cleaning or for multipurpose hall use.

Q: How do I maintain these chairs for the long term?

A: We recommend a simple maintenance schedule: check the frame and top connections every six months and inspect the feet periodically, replacing them if they become worn. The chairs can be easily cleaned with a warm, damp cloth.

Q: Are these primary 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 life.

Q: What is the standard delivery time for these chairs?

A: Our standard delivery time is 4 weeks. Please be aware that during peak periods, specifically the school summer holidays, lead times may extend. We recommend placing orders early for September refits.

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 a distance. This is incredibly helpful during summer room swaps or when organising furniture for different year groups.

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 stacked together?

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 cleaning or for multipurpose hall use.

Q: How do I maintain these chairs for the long term?

A: We recommend a simple maintenance schedule: check the frame and top connections every six months and inspect the feet periodically, replacing them if they become worn. The chairs can be easily cleaned with a warm, damp cloth.

Q: Are these primary 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 life.

Q: What is the standard delivery time for these chairs?

A: Our standard delivery time is 4 weeks. Please be aware that during peak periods, specifically the school summer holidays, lead times may extend. We recommend placing orders early for September 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 facility run responsibly.
