Measurements, weight limits, stacking and cleaning for the Beetle and Bat chairs.
How is the Beetle seat height measured?
The seat is curved, not flat. The 45 cm seat height is measured at the back of the seat, in the middle.
What weight can a Beetle or Bat chair hold?
The Beetle and Bat chairs hold a maximum of 110 kg.
The Beetle sofa holds 220 kg.
Can the un-upholstered Beetle shell be cleaned with sanitiser?
Yes. The un-upholstered Beetle shell is approved for sanitiser.
Do the Beetle and Bat meeting chairs swivel?
It depends on the base. The model with castors has a fixed column. The model with glides has a swivel column.
Can Beetle chairs be stacked?
Yes — but only the stackable version of the Beetle Dining Chair. Up to 4 fully upholstered chairs, or 8 un-upholstered chairs, can be stacked.
The stackable version is currently available only with a matt black base. The other versions of the Beetle Dining Chair are not stackable.
If you are considering an upholstered version, we recommend avoiding delicate fabrics such as velvet: stacking can leave pressure marks in the upholstery.
