A: PU Leather, often referred to as Polyurethane Leather, is a material made from a polymer known for its versatility, durability, and wide range of applications. However, it is important to note that Polyurethane (PU) is not actual leather. At Sitting Around, we value transparency and believe that the term PU Leather can be misleading for our customers. Therefore, we do not use this term for any of our products. We are committed to providing quality materials that you can trust, which is why we encourage you to visit our store on the Sunshine Coast to try out our dining chairs and stools in person. This hands-on experience ensures that you are fully informed and satisfied with your purchase.
A: At Sitting Around, the price of our furniture can vary significantly due to several factors. Firstly, the origin of the furniture plays a crucial role; furniture made locally often incurs higher labor costs compared to pieces manufactured overseas. Additionally, the freight costs involved in shipping heavier or bulkier items can also increase the price. The materials used in construction are another significant factor. Higher-quality raw materials, such as solid wood and premium metals, tend to cost more but offer greater durability and longevity. The thickness of these materials also matters; thicker raw materials often result in sturdier and more durable furniture. Upholstery choices further impact the price. High-end materials like full-grain leather or high-performance fabrics are more expensive but provide better longevity and comfort. Conversely, cheaper options like PU leather may be more affordable initially but are prone to wear and tear, such as delamination and peeling. Lastly, the physical weight and wall thickness of the furniture contribute to its overall cost. Heavier items with thicker walls often require more raw materials and labor, making them more expensive but also more robust and reliable. By understanding these factors, you can make a more informed decision when selecting your next piece from Sitting Around.
A: Yes, Sitting Around offers commercial quantity discounts for bulk purchases. If you are looking to buy multiple settings, we provide discounts for orders ranging from 8 to 10 chairs per setting. This is ideal for businesses or large gatherings where you need multiple settings of our high-quality dining chairs and stools. Please visit our Sunshine Coast store to try before you buy, and speak with one of our specialists to get the best deals tailored to your needs.
A: Proper maintenance of your furniture ensures longevity and maintains its aesthetic appeal. For pieces made of PVC, PU, or vinyl, it is essential to clean them regularly with a soft cloth and mild soapy water or ARCO cleaner. This regular maintenance helps to prevent the buildup of grime and maintains the material's integrity. For fabric furniture, we recommend applying fabric protection, which makes the materials easier to clean. Additionally, a regular vacuum and steam clean every 12 months is advisable. This thorough cleaning process not only removes dirt and grime but also extends the lifespan of your furniture. By adhering to these maintenance practices, you will keep your furniture from Sitting Around in excellent condition for years to come. Chrome and other metals need to be kept clean but dry; a metal polish applied regularly will help protect against corrosion.
