FAQ

How long will delivery take?

Providing all items are in stock, we ship within 4 business days after payment clears. Delivery times are approximate and depend on your location and the size of your order. Some decor items may take up to 40 days to arrive. For availability or a delivery estimate for a particular item, please contact us. See our Shipping page for details.

Is shipping included in my order?

Shipping offers depend on the item and destination. Our Shipping page lists flat-fee delivery on most items to carrier-defined Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide metro areas. Outside these areas, additional freight may apply; we will advise a price and invoice the freight if you agree. Commercial quantities, assembled products and most sale, special or clearance items have exclusions. Please check the Shipping page or contact us for a freight quote.

Can I collect my order on the Sunshine Coast?

Yes. Orders can be collected at no extra charge from our Sunshine Coast showroom, with items assembled and ready to take home. We will contact you to arrange pickup once your items arrive. Depending on availability, arrival in store can take up to 4 weeks. See pickup details and our showroom contact information. Warehouse pickup or arranging your own courier from the warehouse is not available.

Will my furniture need assembly?

Assembly varies by product: some items arrive assembled, while others require minor assembly or are supplied unassembled. Check the assembly notes on your chosen product in our Dining Chairs, Kitchen Bench Stools or Tables collections. Orders collected from our showroom are assembled ready for pickup, as outlined on our Shipping page.

What if my furniture arrives damaged?

Please contact us and send photos and video evidence of damaged-on-arrival items within 24 hours of delivery. See Warranty, Care & Maintenance and Returns and Refunds for the full terms.

Can I return or swap an item if I change my mind?

We do not offer change-of-mind refunds, including for the wrong colour, style or size. Swaps may be offered at our discretion for an equal-value item, or a higher-value item with the difference paid. A 30% restocking fee applies, and you pay both return freight and delivery of the swapped item. Please contact us on (07) 5479 5502 to discuss a swap and read our Returns and Refunds terms.

What warranty applies, and when should I report a fault?

Our warranty page states a 12-month manufacturer's warranty on furniture for manufacturing faults, not wear and tear. Some product descriptions list different warranty periods; please contact us to confirm the cover for your chosen item. Keep your invoice and report a fault as soon as it appears, within 7 days. Further damage caused by delayed action is not covered. Domestic products used commercially, rusting and lack of maintenance are excluded under the published terms. Read Warranty, Care & Maintenance.

Who pays freight for a warranty claim?

Under our published warranty terms, you pay freight on warranty claims unless the item is damaged on arrival. Depending on the issue, items will be repaired rather than replaced. See Warranty, Care & Maintenance for details.

Which seat height suits my table or bench?

Check seat height rather than overall furniture height. Our Nadia product copy pairs a 45cm dining seat with a 75cm table and a 65cm stool with a 90cm kitchen bench. Our Bar Stools collection describes seats of 75cm and above for bars and high counters around 100–110cm. Compare the dimensions of your chosen product in Dining Chairs, Kitchen Bench Stools or Bar Stools, or ask us for help.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

Some products have minimum quantities or are sold as sets. For example, Siesta Air stools have a minimum order of 2, while Siesta Diva and Dolce armchairs have a minimum of 4. Check the title and description of your chosen item in our Hospitality & Commercial Furniture collection. Set listings may supply more than one seat for each item added to your order, so check the pack details before ordering.

How do I enquire about trade or commercial orders?

For commercial quantities, pricing and a freight quote, please contact us on (07) 5479 5502 or email sales@buttsonseats.com.au. Browse our Hospitality & Commercial Furniture collection; flat-fee shipping does not apply to commercial quantity orders, as explained on our Shipping page.

We offer flat fee shipping on most items to around 66% of the Australian population ie: Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne & Adelaide Metro areas. Metro areas are defined by the carriers. If we can possibly service other areas at the flat fee we will do so but furniture is generally bulky and can be expensive to move. Flat fee delivery is not applicable to commercial quantity orders. For all other areas we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know a freight price. If you agree we will send an invoice for the freight.(flat packed furniture only).

Refunds are only offered for damaged on arrival products, we do not offer refunds if you simply change your mind e.g. wrong colour, style or size. Refunds will be issued through the same method that you used to pay for your item. Please note that if a refund is issued through paypal please be aware that there are paypal fees that apply and will be charged to customers accordingly. It is the customer's responsibility to pay freight on all products returned as well as freight for the swapped product to be delivered to your chosen address.



No assembly services are not available.

As a rule of thumb, standard dining tables are around 75cm high. Look for chairs with a seat height of 45cm to 48cm to allow comfortable legroom (about 25-30cm between the seat and the underside of the table). Allow roughly 60cm of width per chair to avoid crowding your guests.

Domestic or Residential furniture is designed for minor, predictable use. The Butts on Seats commercial range features heavier duty construction, including thicker structural tubing, reinforced stress points, and high-rub-count fabrics (tested a minimum 50,000+ Martindale cycles) to ensure structural integrity under high use.

Absolutely. For qualified commercial projects and bulk orders, we offer comprehensive customization options. We can source custom powder-coat colorways, coordinate custom upholstery fabrics to match your brand's palette, or alter structural heights for custom bar counters.

The main difference is the seat height. Standard kitchen islands sit at about 90cm high, requiring a counter stool with a seat height of 60cm to 68cm. True bar stools are taller, with a seat height of 75cm to 80cm, made to match commercial bars or raised surfaces that are 100cm to 105cm high. Always measure from the floor to the underside of your bench before buying.

To prevent your guests from bumping elbows, you should allow roughly 60cm to 65cm of width per stool. For example, a 2-meter-long kitchen island can comfortably accommodate 3 standard-sized kitchen stools with plenty of breathing room

For optimal legroom and comfort, aim for a clearance gap of 25cm to 30cm between the top of the stool seat and the underside of your kitchen benchtop.

To mitigate lower back fatigue, prioritize a chair featuring dedicated adjustable lumbar support that hugs the natural inward curve of your lower spine. Look for a mechanism that allows you to adjust both the seat height and the tilt tension, ensuring your feet rest flat on the floor with your knees at a comfortable 90-degree angle.

A breathable mesh back is the gold standard for temperature regulation, promoting continuous airflow to prevent sweating during long hours. Fully upholstered fabric or leather chairs, alternatively, offer a more cushioned, deeply padded sit and a classic aesthetic, making them ideal for executive spaces or cooler home-office environments.

The vast majority of our ergonomic task and executive office chairs feature heavy-duty steel bases and Class-4 hydraulic gas lifts certified to support up to 120kg to 150kg under standard 8-hour daily operational use.

Generally, no. Standard residential kitchen islands are roughly 90cm high and require a shorter 65cm counter stool. A 75cm stool is specifically designed for taller surfaces—like commercial bars, pub tables, or high architectural ledges—that sit between 100cm and 109cm high.

You should always maintain a functional gap of 25cm to 30cm between the top of the stool's seat cushion and the underside of your bar top. For a 75cm stool, your bar surface should ideally be at least 100cm to 105cm high to ensure your guests have plenty of comfortable legroom.

When sitting at an elevated bar height, a person's feet cannot comfortably reach the floor. A structurally sound, integrated footrest or foot ring is absolutely essential to relieve pressure on the thighs, support proper posture, and make mounting the stool significantly safer.

Yes. Our chairs come standard with universal, smooth-rolling nylon castors that perform excellently across both commercial low-pile carpets and hard floors. For delicate, high-gloss timber flooring, we recommend polyeurathane wheels or placing a protective chair mat underneath to ensure friction-free movement.
