Frequently Asked Questions
Is metal or aluminum better for outdoor seating?
Aluminum is lighter and naturally rust-proof, making it ideal for mobile setups; powder-coated steel is heavier and more stable in windy areas, but it requires a high-quality finish to prevent rust.
Can I use these stools for indoor service as well?
Yes. Many of our industrial-style metal stools feature a "Tolix-style" aesthetic that works well for indoor-outdoor transitions, providing a cohesive look for your entire venue.
