If you're a nature lover, festival goer, or simply a homebody who appreciates the comfort of home, then a retractable chair is your champion. It is foldable, portable, and travel-friendly, just perfect for the convenience guru who wishes to lounge anywhere and at any time. At Numanu, we're firm believers in marrying functionality and durability with no compromise on comfort, and our Collapsible Stool is a great addition to your convenience toolbox.
While useful for another outdoor setting, sit-down practices should be considered to get the most from your seat and experience.
Here's a fast view of things one should and shouldn't do while using one.
1.Do: Select the Right Collapsible Stool for Your Purposes
The key to having a good time with your collapsible stool is choosing the right one. Keep the following factors in mind:
- Weight capacity: Inspect the weight capacity of the stool. Numanu collapsible stools are designed to support a large weight range safely.
- Material: Heavy outdoor materials are heavy plastic or light aluminum.
- Portability: Opt for a folding stool that cinches tightly and includes a strap or handle to carry.
The right stool makes a huge difference in comfort and safety when hiking, fishing, camping, or going to an outdoor concert.
2.Do: Use on Stable, Level Surfaces
One of the easiest preventions for accidents is sitting on your outdoor collapsible stool on a stable surface. Steer clear of rocky ground, wet grass, or uneven ground that will make it fall over. Even the most stable stool is dangerous when on an improper surface.
- Pro tip: For soggy ground, push the legs into the ground slightly to offer more stability. This is handy for camping or beach environments.
3.Do: Fully Extend and Lock the Stool
Prior to sitting down, ensure your folding stool is extended fully and securely locked into position. Telescoping legs or snaps are typically used by most folding stools. Not locking them may result in unintended collapse.
Numanu stools have simple lock mechanisms to ensure rapid, tension-free assembly. Check twice before use—your safety is at stake.
4.Do: Clean and Maintain Regularly
Regular cleaning will ensure your collapsible stool remains in good condition and continues to look its best. For outdoor stools, wipe clean with a wiping action following exposure to dirt, sand, or water. For in-set stains, mild soap and water will work.
Also, check your stool for signs of wear and tear. Examine joints, locks, and legs to make sure they are functioning well. Timely maintenance prolongs the life of your stool and makes it safe to use.
Avoid: Overloading Your Collapsible Stool
Each folding stool has a weight limit. Lifting above that will put the safety of the stool at risk and can lead to injury. Even if the stool itself is strong, don't disregard the manufacturer's instructions.
Numanu folding stools are stress tested for strength and durability, but proper use ensures longevity. Treat your stool like a true friend—it can be yours for years with gentle treatment.
1.Don't: Use on Uneven or Slippery Surfaces
A folding outdoor stool is handy, but it's not a magic trick for any terrain. Sitting on inclines, rocks, or slippery surfaces might cause tipping or slipping hazards. Always be safe.
If you’re at a campsite or outdoor event, scout the area for level ground before setting up your stool. A little caution goes a long way.
2.Don’t: Force the Stool When Folding or Unfolding
Collapsible stools rely on smooth mechanisms for folding and extension. It's possible to damage hinges or lock components by forcing the stool to close or open up. Always check the folding and unfolding instructions.
Numanu's foldable stools are easy to use, yet not so heavy handling that they endure longer. Just think of opening a delicate device—patience is worthwhile.
- Do: Carry It Conveniently
Portability is the greatest strength of a folding stool. The majority of them are equipped with handles or straps that make it easy to transport.
Numanu is concerned about the safety of its stools, but careful use is always the best form of accident prevention.
- Do: Use Anywhere
The advantage of a collapsible outdoor stool lies in its versatility. Fishing excursions or music festivals, camping or garden barbecue parties, it's the convenient comfort solution that fits your lifestyle. With proper care, your Numanu stool will remain your ultimate companion for many years to come.
