FAQs

What are the overall dimensions of the Petit Standard chair?

The chair has a width of 525 mm, a depth of 500 mm, and a height of 830 mm.

What materials is the Petit Standard chair made from?

The chair features a frame made of steel and die-cast aluminum, with a seat and backrest in oak veneer.

Is assembly required for this chair?

Typically, the HAY Petit Standard chair comes fully assembled. Any additions like felt gliders are usually simple to attach.

How many chairs can be stacked together?

While the chair is designed for stacking, it's best to consult the manufacturer's guidelines or test with a small number (e.g., 3-5) to ensure stability and avoid damage, especially in a non-commercial setting.

What is the recommended method for cleaning the oak veneer seat?

Wipe with a slightly damp cloth and use a dedicated wood cleaner if necessary. Avoid soaking the veneer and ensure it dries thoroughly.

Does this chair come in other colors or finishes?

Yes, the Petit Standard chair is available in various colors and finishes for both the frame and the seat, though this guide focuses on the Ultra marine blue variant.

What is the purpose of the felt gliders?

Felt gliders are attached to the bottom of the chair legs to protect your flooring from scratches and to allow the chair to slide more easily.

Troubleshooting

Chair wobbles or feels unstable

Ensure all legs are firmly on the ground. Check that the chair is on a level surface. If felt gliders were added, ensure they are attached evenly. Inspect the base for any visible damage.

Oak veneer shows signs of wear or staining

Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild wood cleaner. Avoid excessive moisture. Consider applying a wood polish or sealant designed for veneers if wear is significant, following product guidelines.

Chair is difficult to stack or unstack

Ensure chairs are aligned correctly before stacking. Check for any debris or obstructions on the legs or stacking mechanism. Do not force the chairs together; a smooth fit indicates proper alignment.

Frame shows scratches or scuffs

For minor scratches on the steel/aluminum frame, a metal polish might be effective. For deeper scratches, consider consulting a furniture repair specialist. Avoid using abrasive materials that could worsen the damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The HAY Petit Standard chair typically arrives fully assembled. If felt gliders are included or purchased separately, they can be affixed to the base of the legs according to their specific instructions.

Compatibility: This chair is designed as a standalone piece or as part of a set. Its dimensions (Width: 525 mm, Depth: 500 mm, Height: 830 mm) are compatible with standard dining tables and desks. The base material is steel, and the seat/backrest is oak veneer.

Care: To maintain the chair's finish:

  • Frame: Wipe the steel and aluminum frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Oak Veneer Seat/Backrest: Clean the oak veneer with a slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or to maintain the wood's finish, use a cleaner specifically designed for wood surfaces, following product instructions. Ensure the cloth is not overly wet to prevent damage to the veneer.
  • Stacking: When stacking, ensure chairs are aligned properly to avoid scratching or damage. Use felt gliders if provided to protect surfaces during stacking and unstacking.
