Frequently asked questions

Can seating be bolted down?

Yes. Selected stools are available with bolt-down bases for fixed installation at bars, drink rails and concourses where seating needs to stay put. Hardware and installation are handled by your contractor, and your rep can provide base dimensions and mounting details.

Do you offer stackable seating for events?

Yes. Our Stackable collection is built for venues that reconfigure often, with seating that clears quickly for concerts, private events and cleaning, then sets back up just as fast. For outdoor spaces, our Poly-Molded All-Weather chairs are also stackable.

Can you meet a tight opening date?

Often, yes. Quick Ship chairs, stools and tables that are available only as shown can ship in as soon as 2–3 days, and Quick Ship items with stain or upholstery options usually take 2–6 weeks. Custom orders typically take 14–20 weeks, but many can be rushed to 8–10 weeks, and if your date is tighter than that, ask your rep and we’ll look for a way to make it work.

What seating holds up best in high-traffic concourses?

Chairs and stools without bolted connections, since bolts can loosen under constant use while solid joinery stays tight. Almost all of our wood products use mortise-and-tenon construction with very few bolted connections, and our metal products are fully welded rather than bolted together. Every piece is assembled at our factory, so it arrives built correctly and ready for heavy daily use.

Do you offer swivel stools?

Yes. Many of our stools come standard with swivel seats, and many other products can be customized with a swivel. Most backless stools come with 360-degree swivels, so guests can turn freely, and most stools with backs come with auto-return swivels that rotate back to face the bar, counter or gaming machine when a guest stands up. Ask your Designform rep about combining swivel seats with bolt-down bases.

Is your outdoor furniture suited for year-round use?

Yes. Most of our outdoor products, including the Poly-Molded All-Weather Collection, are UV-resistant and built for year-round outdoor use. Our Al Fresco Collection is also UV-rated and made from outdoor-grade materials; in extreme environments, a little extra care will help it last longer. Your Designform rep can recommend the best collection for your climate.

Does your upholstered furniture meet fire codes?

Yes. Our upholstered products, including foam and upholstery materials, meet California Technical Bulletin 117-2013 (CAL TB 117-2013), the flammability standard for upholstered furniture. If your project or local fire code requires additional testing or documentation, ask your Designform rep before ordering.

Do you have a minimum order?

Our minimum order is typically 4 pieces. If you need fewer, ask your Designform rep and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request.

What’s your warranty?

All Designform products are commercially rated. Finishes and upholstery are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for 1 year from the shipment date, and the structural integrity of the frame is covered for 3 years. Coverage assumes normal commercial use and regular maintenance, including keeping bolts and hardware tight. If a product is defective, send written notice and photos within 30 days of noticing the issue and we’ll repair or replace it. See full warranty terms.
