Know before you buy
Yes, the stool is constructed from weather-resistant thermoplastic technopolymer, making it suitable for year-round outdoor use. However, like any outdoor furniture, keeping it clean and protected during extreme weather will help maintain its finish over time.
No, the Roy Stool arrives fully assembled and ready to use right out of the box.
Absolutely. The stool features a flat, sturdy top that provides a stable surface for drinks, books, or decorative items, making it a highly functional end table.
The thermoplastic material is easy to maintain. Simply wipe it down with a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild, non-abrasive soap.
The Roy Stool is available in opaque finishes, which provide a sophisticated, matte appearance rather than a high-gloss shine.
