Bar stool STU-006 for enamel: how to paint wood without painting the brass footrest

The bar stool STU-006 connects two materials that cannot be finished according to one scenario. The seat and legs are made of wood, and the lower part of the structure is encircled by a solid brass ring with a diameter of 14 mm with a patinated surface. The ring serves as a footrest and simultaneously reinforces the lower part of the stool. It is secured with four M6 brass screws. If the order specifies "beech, "Prestige", for enamel", this applies to the wooden parts. Such wording does not prescribe painting the brass footrest, patina, and visible screw heads.

In practice, the error occurs not at the moment of choosing the model, but later — when transferring the product to the painter. In the accompanying sheet, a short note remains: "STU-006 for enamel, four pieces." The executor sees the finished structure and perceives it as a single object to be painted. Primer gets on the ring, enamel flows into the areas where the brass meets the legs, the screw slots are filled with coating, and the boundary between metal and wood becomes uneven. Patinated brass loses the character for which it was included in the design in the first place.

To buy bar stool STU-006 without such a misunderstanding, one line with the material and quantity is not enough. Before placing the order, it is necessary to divide the product into two finishing zones, determine the color of the wooden part, the degree of gloss, the appearance of the brass, the order of painting and final assembly, the method of protecting the ring and screws, and for a batch — to approve a reference sample.

STU-006 has dimensions of 450 × 853 × 417 mm, is made from beech or oak, has a "Prestige" sanding finish, a wooden anatomically concave seat, and a tenon-and-groove connection of legs to the seat. The product is made to order and supplied in a rigid box. These characteristics allow for accurately forming the specification, but do not replace the finishing process chart. The main question of the article is not "what to paint any wooden chair with," but how to coordinate wood and patinated brass in the specific STU-006 model so that one material is not damaged when working with another.

First, divide STU-006 into two finishing zones

Externally, the chair is perceived as a single piece. For the painter and the assembler, it must be divided into separate material zones. Each zone has its own task, its own expected appearance, and its own limitations.

This table turns the abstract wish to "paint the chair" into a clear task. The wood receives the chosen finish. The brass retains its patina. The screws remain visible as part of the metal assembly, unless another option is agreed upon separately. The boundary between materials must be neat, and the sequence of work must be approved before painting begins.

It is useful for the buyer to mentally ask two different questions. First: what should the wood become? Second: what should the brass remain? If only the first is answered, the specification is incomplete.

Why the ring cannot be considered secondary hardware

The brass footrest is in an area of constant visual and functional attention. Feet rest on it, it connects the four legs at the bottom, reflects light, and sets a metallic accent. Even a small enamel run on the ring is more noticeable than a similar flaw on a hidden fastener.

The solid rod with a diameter of 14 mm creates a pronounced rounded line. Patina changes the perception of brass: the metal looks not like a bright new part, but like a deliberate decorative material with a complex shade. If you cover it with opaque enamel, not only the color of the metal will disappear, but also the contrast between warm brass and painted wood.

The four M6 screws are also not random technical points. Their semi-circular heads with straight slots are part of the visible assembly. Primer or paint in the slot worsens the appearance and complicates further work with the fastener. Therefore, the specification separately states: "four brass M6 screws to be preserved with a patinated finish, slots not to be painted over."

"Under enamel" refers to the wood, not the entire chair

The phrase "STU-006 under enamel" can easily be read too broadly. The buyer thinks they have chosen a ready-made way to finish the entire structure. In reality, it refers to a wooden version designed for further opaque coating.

This wording does not define:

• specific color;

• a color system code;

• a matte, semi-matte, or glossy surface;

• a primer brand;

• an enamel brand;

• number of layers;

• brass ring coloring;

• removing or preserving patina;

• removal of the footrest;

• moment of installing four screws;

• painting finishing service;

• final assembly.

A buyer who wants order STU-006 from beech under enamel, must supplement the product line with a finishing specification. For example: "wooden parts — enamel of approved color, gloss level per sample; brass ring Ø14 mm and four M6 screws preserve with patina; the boundary between wood and metal to be executed per reference sample".

Why you cannot simply write "white"

White color can be cold, warm, neutral, milky, grayish. On a concave wooden seat, cylindrical legs, and tongue-and-groove joints, one shade is perceived differently due to light and shadows. A matte surface softens the form, a glossier one emphasizes curvature and small irregularities. Next to patinated brass, cold white creates a stricter contrast, while warm white creates a calmer transition.

Therefore, the entry "STU-006 white" is not suitable for batch production. It does not answer questions about tint, gloss, and sample. If the project uses a RAL code or another color designation system, the code must be entered. But even an exact code does not eliminate the need for a control stain on wood.

Why enamel should not automatically extend onto metal

The painter works according to the task. If brass is not described in it, he may cover it with protection, remove the ring, leave it in place, or paint everything together — depending on his own experience. None of these options can be considered correct without approval for the specific product.

The footrest has a patina. This is already a finished metal surface. Applying primer and enamel over it changes the material and appearance. Therefore, preserving the brass should be formulated not as a wish after painting, but as a mandatory condition before work begins.

Characteristics of STU-006 that affect finishing and ordering

Dimensions should not be perceived as a reference line. The height of 853 mm links STU-006 to a high stand, but suitability for a specific countertop cannot be declared without measurement. The width of 450 mm and depth of 417 mm are needed to calculate the number of chairs, aisles, and distances between seating positions.

Before purchasing, you can download STU-006 drawing and check the dimensions on the kitchen, bar, or cafe floor plan. The drawing helps assess geometry and layout, but is not an instruction for self-disassembly of the ring or painting.

For a broader comparison of designs, material on how to choose a wooden bar stool. However, in the case of STU-006, in addition to the general choice of material and height, there is a separate task: to preserve the patinated brass when finishing the wood.

Finishing map: a document that should be handed to the painter along with the chair

The process chart for the buyer can be simple. It does not necessarily need to contain professional standards of painting production. It is enough to clearly describe what should change and what should remain.

Zone 1. Wooden seat

Specify the material — beech or oak. Record the type of coating, color, and degree of gloss. Separately note that the anatomically concave shape must have an even coating without unpainted areas in the transitions.

The concave seat cannot be assessed only from above. Light falls on it at different angles: the central part appears darker, the edges — lighter. If the coating is applied unevenly, the difference will look like a stain, although the color code is the same.

Zone 2. Wooden legs

The color of the legs must match the seat, unless the project specifies otherwise. It is necessary to describe the coating boundaries near the attachment points of the brass ring. If certain areas should remain unfinished for technological reasons, this is determined by the contractor together with the manufacturer.

The legs are inspected around the entire circumference. From one angle, the surface may look smooth, but when rotated, marks, unpainted areas, or differences in gloss become noticeable.

Zone 3. Brass ring

The record must be direct: "solid brass ring Ø14 mm to be preserved with patinated finish; do not apply primer or enamel." If the project involves changing the metal, it must be confirmed separately, not arise as a side effect of painting the wood.

Zone 4. Four M6 screws

The brass heads, patina, and clean straight slots must be preserved. The screws are counted before and after the work. They cannot be considered consumable fasteners that may be replaced with any similar parts.

Zone 5. Material boundary

The most difficult part is the place where the ring meets the legs. Here, a buildup of primer, a ragged edge of enamel, or an unpainted area of wood may occur. The control sample should show what this boundary looks like in the finished form.

Zone 6. Final assembly

The map must name the responsible person and the stage. If the ring or screws are installed after finishing, damage to the enamel must be excluded. If the metal remains in place, it is protected in an agreed manner. It is not allowed to recommend removing the ring on your own without confirmation of the design.

Paint before installing the ring or after: there is no universal answer

The desire to get a short instruction is understandable: remove the ring, paint the wood, install it back — or, conversely, do not disassemble anything and carefully cover the metal. But the correct order depends on the design, the condition of delivery, the admissibility of disassembly, the chosen coating, and the responsibility of the performer.

Before the work, you need to get answers to specific questions:

1. In what form does STU-006 arrive?

2. Is disassembly of a specific brass ring allowed?

3. At what stage are the four M6 screws installed?

4. Which wooden surfaces become inaccessible after final assembly?

5. How to protect patinated brass?

6. How to avoid damaging the enamel when installing the ring?

7. How to keep the splines clean?

8. Who is responsible for the chair's geometry after assembly?

9. Is a control chair needed before the batch?

10. Which document approves the result?

Removing the ring on your own just for painting convenience is risky. You can damage the patina, screw heads, mounting points, or the wood. The article does not confirm the universal possibility of repeated disassembly. The decision is coordinated with the manufacturer and the craftsman.

Scenario A: the metal component is installed after the wood finishing

This order potentially simplifies access to the legs and prevents enamel from getting on the ring. But it is only acceptable with a confirmed assembly scheme. After painting, the risk of scratching the finish when installing the ring and tightening the screws increases.

The master must understand where the part can be held, which tool to work with, and how to protect the painted leg near the screw head. The sequence of actions is first checked on one specimen.

Scenario B: the ring stays in place

The master protects the metal and screws, while painting the wood in assembled form. Another difficulty arises: a clean edge near the four attachment points and access to the legs next to the ring. The protection method must be tested on one chair.

The protective material must not damage the patina, leave a sticky residue, or cover part of the wooden surface. The specific agent is chosen by the craftsman after testing, not based on universal advice.

Scenario C: combined sequence

Part of the preparation is done before assembly, with the final finish after a trial installation or vice versa. This route requires a particularly clear map, otherwise two craftsmen will each assume the other should complete the complex section.

Beech under enamel: when it is a deliberate choice

Beech is logical to consider when the wooden part must receive an opaque color and the natural texture is not the main decorative accent. Enamel allows STU-006 to be tied to kitchen facades, the color of the island, panels, or other painted furniture.

The advantages of this scenario are not in abstract "beauty" but in project controllability:

• the color can be matched to a specific kitchen;

• a batch of chairs receives a unified visual tone;

• wood and brass read as two different materials;

• the patinated ring becomes a noticeable accent;

• the chair can be integrated into a classic or transitional composition.

But beech under enamel does not mean a finished painted chair. The "Prestige" sanding describes the condition of the wooden surface, while the selected color, primer, and finishing cycle are specified separately. Details checking the preparation of the wooden chair for finishing is useful before handing the batch over to the workshop.

Light enamel and patinated brass

Light wood enhances the contrast with the ring. On such a surface, dark marks near the metal, ragged edges, and primer on screws are especially noticeable. Control must be strict.

Light enamel also highlights shadows from the brass ring on the legs. If the coating boundary is uneven, the defect will be visible with every change in lighting.

Dark enamel and brass

The deep color creates a denser background for the metal. The patina looks warmer, and the rounded bar visually separates from the legs. But an accidental run of dark paint on the brass is clearly visible, especially in side light.

On dark enamel, dust, traces of uneven gloss, and damage that appeared during final assembly are noticeable. Therefore, the control chair is checked after the full cycle, not just after the first coat.

Enamel matching kitchen cabinet fronts

Matching the color name does not guarantee a matching appearance. The fronts may have a different base, gloss, and application method. The chair requires a separate color sample, which is compared with a real door, not just with a code.

Contrast color

If the fronts are light, and STU-006 is painted in a deep blue, green, or graphite shade, the brass ring becomes an independent line. This technique requires a particularly careful boundary between materials: contrast does not hide an error but amplifies it.

Oak for tinting: when the texture should remain visible

Oak STU-006 is chosen if the wood grain should participate in the composition. Tinting, oil, varnish, or another transparent or semi-transparent system allows preserving the texture, but the specific option must be confirmed with a card and a sample.

Oak and patinated brass can support a warm material palette. However, the combination cannot be assessed by two small samples lying separately. You need to see the painted wood next to the real ring in daylight and artificial light.

The customer can find out the price of oak STU-006 after choosing the finish. Cost should be compared not only by wood species, but also by the full finishing cycle.

Natural variability of wood and batch consistency

If several oak chairs with visible texture are ordered, full visual identity of all parts should not be assumed without confirmation. Wood has a natural grain. The purpose of the sample is to agree on acceptable character, color, and combination with brass, not to turn solid wood into printed material.

Why oak does not necessarily need to be painted with enamel

Opaque enamel is possible only within an approved project, but then you need to understand why oak was chosen if its texture is completely covered. Sometimes there is a reason: matching other parts or a structural task. Sometimes beech turns out to be more rational. The decision is made based on the entire composition and budget.

Toning near brass fittings

Clear finish does not hide wood transitions the way opaque enamel does. Any dirt, tool marks, or unevenness near screws remain visible. Therefore, the installation order of the ring for the oak version needs to be coordinated no less carefully.

Control sample: one chair should answer for the entire batch

For one home chair, a color sample on a separate wooden piece can be approved. For four, eight, or twenty STU-006, this is not enough. The batch requires a control item or a full fragment showing the wood, patinated ring, and screws.

The control chair helps to check:

• wood species;

• color;

• gloss level;

• coating uniformity on the concave seat;

• type of legs;

• edge around the ring;

• preservation of patina;

• condition of the four M6 screws;

• cleanliness of the splines;

• combination of materials under different lighting;

• stability of the technology to repetition.

You can order an enamel sample for STU-006 before starting the batch. The color sample is the first level. The second level is the control chair, because only it shows the real boundary between wood and metal.

What to write on the sample

It is not enough to write "white semi-matte." The sample records:

• article STU-006;

• beech or oak;

• color code or name;

• gloss level;

• applied material system;

• approval date;

• method of preserving the brass ring;

• condition of the screws;

• sample version number;

• signature of the responsible person.

If the color is adjusted, the old sample cannot be left in the workshop as an equal reference. Otherwise, part of the batch may be produced according to the previous version.

Inspection in daylight and artificial light

Patina and enamel change character under different lighting temperatures. During the day, brass may look calmer; in the evening, warmer. Matte enamel absorbs light, while semi-matte reflects it on curves. The control chair is evaluated under conditions close to the future interior.

Checking from a distance and up close

From three meters, the overall rhythm of wood and brass is assessed. Up close, edges, screw slots, runs, and the condition of the patina are checked. One inspection method does not replace the other.

Four M6 screws: a small detail that reveals the quality of the entire work

Each STU-006 has four brass screws. For a batch of four chairs, that is sixteen visible fastening points; for ten, forty. If half of the heads remain clean and half are covered with enamel, the entire set looks inconsistent.

The formula is simple:

Number of visible screws = number of chairs × 4.

This table is needed for acceptance. The assembler must check not just the presence of fasteners, but the identical condition of all heads and slots. The technical specification states whether the screws should remain visible in patinated brass. In the scenario under consideration — yes.

Why the slot must remain clean

A straight slot is a functional part of the fastener. If it is filled with primer and enamel, subsequent work with tools becomes more difficult and damages the surrounding coating. Additionally, a painted-over slot looks untidy.

Why one screw cannot be replaced with a similar one

A different shade, head shape, or material immediately disrupts the repeatability of the ring. Replacement is only possible after confirming the corresponding part, not based on the principle "the thread fit."

How to accept screws in a batch

You need to check not the general package of fasteners, but each finished chair. All four heads must be in place, free of paint drips, and the straight slots must remain readable and clean.

Size 450 × 853 × 417 mm: finishing does not cancel the fit check

The article is about painting, but a commercial order cannot be considered complete without checking the dimensions. The height of 853 mm indicates a bar format, but the appropriate height of a tabletop or island is determined by the actual project.

Check:

• height of the upper plane of the stand;

• distance between the seat and the tabletop;

• The thickness of the tabletop;

• tabletop overhang;

• position of the island supports;

• width of the seating space;

• number of chairs;

• passage behind;

• ability to pull out the chair;

• contact of the brass ring with footwear.

To choose the format, you can read the material about how What height suits a kitchen island. It helps compare bar and semi-bar seating, but does not replace the topic of preserving brass in STU-006 finishing.

Width 450 mm and number of chairs

You cannot simply divide the island length by 450 mm. Space for seating and movement is required between chairs, and the edge positions depend on side supports and countertop overhang. The exact spacing is determined by the designer.

Depth 417 mm and passage

The chair is pulled out during seating. The plan must account not only for the dimensions in the pushed-in position, but also for the person's movement. Finished enamel is especially vulnerable if chairs constantly collide with the wall or adjacent furniture.

Height 853 mm and visual line

Several STU-006 units form a repeating row. Even a slight difference in color, gloss, or brass condition becomes noticeable because the rings and seats are at the same height. A batch requires greater precision than a single chair.

STU-006 at a kitchen island: the wood color should be part of the overall palette

The bar area connects several materials: facades, countertop, floor, metal of lamps, handles, and chairs. The brass ring of STU-006 can support handles or lamps, but does not necessarily have to match them exactly in shade. Patina creates its own character.

Before choosing the enamel, it is useful to look at bar stools at the kitchen island and then prepare your palette. It should contain real samples:

• kitchen cabinet front;

• countertop;

• floor covering;

• wood enamel;

• patinated brass;

• metal of lamps or handles.

Chair in the color of the cabinet fronts

This option visually connects the bar area with the kitchen. At the same time, different bases can give different sheen. The control paint sample is compared directly with the cabinet front.

Chair in a contrasting color

The contrast highlights STU-006 as a standalone piece of furniture. Brass can serve as a transition between dark wood and warm interior details. Errors at the metal–enamel boundary are especially noticeable with this solution.

Oak next to a wooden tabletop

The two woods do not have to match literally. What matters more is aligning the warmth of the shade and the level of contrast. Trying to make materials “almost identical” can sometimes look worse than a deliberate difference.

Brass next to handles and light fixtures

Patinated brass can differ from polished, satin, or painted metal hardware. Such a difference is acceptable if the materials are brought together in a deliberate palette. You should not repaint the ring just because it did not match the handle in a photo.

Four color scenarios for STU-006

Light wood and warm brass

Milky, cream, or warm light enamel creates a soft transition to the patina. This scenario requires precise comparison with facades: two close light shades can conflict more strongly than light and dark.

Cold light color

Grey-white or cold light enamel enhances the contrast between materials. Brass looks warmer. This contrast reads well, but any contamination of the ring with soil is especially noticeable.

Deep dark enamel

Black, graphite, dark blue, or green background makes the brass ring expressive. This technique requires uniform shine on all legs and clean edges near the screws.

Oak with visible texture

Wood and metal remain material, not just colored surfaces. Here, careful assembly and absence of wood contamination near the ring are especially important: a clear finish does not hide traces of work.

STU-006 for a cafe, bar, or restaurant: control starts before the first batch

Commercial interiors require repeatability. One successful chair does not guarantee the same result across twenty pieces. For HoReCa, the following are especially important:

• a single approved color;

• same degree of gloss;

• preservation of patinated rings;

• consistent condition of screws;

• batch marking;

• packaging control;

• acceptance of each box;

• possibility to reorder based on a saved sample.

The customer can order STU-006 in a batch for a cafe after approval of the control item. The phrase "bar stools of the same color" must be supported by a sample, batch number, and clear criteria.

Why you cannot paint all stools at once without a pilot unit

If the selected ring protection leaves an uneven edge, the error will repeat on each item. If the enamel differs from the facades, the entire batch will be incorrect. A pilot stool allows changing the technology before scaling.

Acceptance card for the batch

For each box, the following is recorded:

• article number;

• material;

• color;

• condition of the wood;

• ring condition;

• patina preservation;

• four M6 screws;

• cleanliness of the splines;

• absence of enamel on metal;

• absence of packaging damage.

Re-order after one year

A commercial facility may require additional furniture. A preserved sample and specification increase the chance of reproducing the agreed finish character. However, an absolute match of a new batch cannot be promised without actual verification of materials and samples.

Different zones of one restaurant

The bar, dining area, and separate counter may require different quantities of chairs. If the color is the same, all groups are best combined into a common finish card. If colors differ, each version gets its own code and sample.

What to order together with STU-006

The full commercial package depends on the selected scenario. One customer needs a chair for self-finishing, another needs a batch with color control, and a third needs a ready-made alternative without painting work.

In this section you can buy materials for painting a wooden chair, but specific products are chosen as a compatible system. The article does not prescribe a universal primer, enamel, or protective agent for patinated brass.

Ordering materials in advance without an approved sample is risky. First, choose the wood, color, and gloss, then form the system and calculate the actual consumption.

Ready-made Hygge or STU-006 under custom enamel

Not every customer needs a finishing project. If you want to unpack the furniture and use it immediately in the interior, independently coordinating the wood, enamel, brass, and assembly may be unnecessary.

STU-006 is suitable for those who want to:

• choose beech or oak;

• set their own color;

• coordinate the gloss;

• preserve patinated brass;

• match the chair with specific facades;

• order a batch according to the reference sample.

For a buyer who needs a finished modern model, it is useful to buy a ready-made bar stool Hygge 003-002 after checking its card. This is a different commercial path, not an "improved" or "worsened" version of STU-006.

You need to compare not only the price of the product. For STU-006 for a project, the sample, materials, painting work, metal protection, and batch control are taken into account. For a ready-made model, the confirmed finish, size, and completeness are checked. The choice depends on whether you need freedom of individual color or a minimum number of subsequent operations.

For a wider selection, you can to look at ready-made tables and chairs STAVROS and to compare ready-made furniture with project execution.

How not to confuse STU-006 with similar products and tasks

Bar and semi-bar stool

STU-006 belongs to the bar format. The semi-bar model solves a different height task. The choice between STU-006 and STU-009 is made based on the counter, not on the brass color.

Frame and finished furniture

The furniture frame category includes bases for custom projects. STU-006 has a specific construction and finishing options. The finished chair implies a different level of completeness. Expectations from finished furniture cannot be transferred to the "enamel" finish.

In the section frames and underframes — catalog and prices Wooden bases for different furniture tasks can be compared, but the characteristics of each item are checked separately.

Brass footrest and painted metal ring

STU-006 is confirmed to have patinated brass. If metal in the color of wood is needed, that is a change of task and cannot be considered a standard configuration.

Beech under enamel and oak under tinting

These are two clear scenarios, but not the only possible combinations. Each pairing is confirmed by a card and a sample. Wood species cannot be chosen separately from the coating.

Anatomically contoured wooden seat and upholstered seat

STU-006 is confirmed to have a wooden seat. Requests for upholstery belong to a different product task, unless such a modification is confirmed.

Brass ring and random crossbar

The footrest is part of a specific structure, secured with four screws. It cannot be replaced with a regular crossbar without design approval.

Who suits STU-006 under enamel

The model is worth considering if:

• need a bar stool with a height of 853 mm;
• fits dimensions 450 × 853 × 417 mm;
• requires a wooden seat;
• like the combination of wood and patinated brass;
• need an individual opaque color;
• there is a finishing contractor;
• the sample can be approved;
• the customer is ready to specify the ring and screws separately;
• the batch will be accepted according to a single reference standard;
• project timelines account for finishing operations.

When it's better to choose another option

Another product or a ready-made model may be more rational if:

• semi-bar height is required;
• a soft chair is needed;
• the size does not fit;
• the buyer does not want to arrange painting;
• the brass accent does not match the interior;
• a ready-made finish without samples is needed;
• impossible to coordinate the assembly order;
• the craftsman is not ready to protect the patina;
• no possibility to manufacture a control chair;
• an adjustable or rotating model is required, which is not confirmed for STU-006.

Acceptance of STU-006 after delivery

The rigid box protects the product during transportation, but does not cancel inspection. Acceptance is carried out before painting work and irreversible actions.

Check the marking

The documents must include the STU-006 article number, selected wood species, quantity, and version.

Check the dimensions

Check the size 450 × 853 × 417 mm according to the card and drawing.

Inspect the wooden seat

The anatomically concave surface must be intact, without transport damage. Inspection is carried out under side light.

Check the legs and connections

The geometry of the four legs and visible areas of the tenon-and-groove joint are assessed. The article does not establish methods for structural testing; in case of doubt, contact the manufacturer.

Inspect the ring

Check the solid brass rod Ø14 mm, integrity, patina, and absence of accidental contamination.

Recount the screws

One chair must have four brass M6 screws in the confirmed joint. For a batch, the quantity is verified according to the formula.

Check the splines

They must be clean and undamaged before finishing.

Keep the box until the inspection is complete

Marking and packaging may be needed when recording a transport issue.

Acceptance after painting: wood and metal are checked separately

Initial acceptance confirms delivery. The second is carried out after finishing and assembly. At this stage, it is important not to limit yourself to a general impression.

Checking the wooden part

• the color matches the sample;
• the degree of gloss is the same;
• the seat is painted evenly;
• there are no unpainted areas on the legs;
• there are no torn edges near the ring;
• no scratches appeared during assembly.

Checking the brass part

• patina preserved;
• no primer on the ring;
• no enamel on the ring;
• metal surface is not damaged;
• four screws are present;
• heads and slots are clean.

Checking the entire batch

Chairs are placed side by side under the same lighting. The height of the visual line of the rings, the shade of the wood, the gloss, and the condition of the fasteners are compared. The variation is more noticeable in a group.

Correct specification STU-006

Incorrect entry:

STU-006 white with gold footrest, 4 pcs.

It creates several ambiguities at once. "White" does not define the exact color and gloss. "Gold" footrest replaces the confirmed patinated brass with a household description. The wood type, size, surface quality, and screws are not specified.

Working wording:

Bar stool STU-006, 450 × 853 × 417 mm, beech, "Prestige" sanding quality, for enamel, 4 pcs. Wooden parts — enamel of approved color, gloss level per sample. Solid brass ring Ø14 mm and four brass screws M6 on each stool to be preserved with patinated finish. Painting order, metal protection, and final assembly — per agreed reference sample.

For oak:

Bar stool STU-006, 450 × 853 × 417 mm, oak, "Prestige" sanding quality, 4 pcs. Wood finish — per approved sample preserving visible grain. Brass ring Ø14 mm and four screws M6 to be preserved with patina.

If the color is indicated by a code, it is entered instead of general words. If two colors are used, each group of stools is listed on a separate line.

What to check in the invoice before payment

The specification must answer not only the question "how many stools" but also the question "what they should become."

Check:

• item number STU-006;
• size 450 × 853 × 417 mm;
• beech or oak;
• "Prestige" quality;
• execution under enamel or another confirmed option;
• quantity;
• status: made to order;
• brass ring Ø14 mm;
• patina;
• four M6 screws per chair;
• rigid box;
• sample;
• materials;
• finishing work, if agreed upon;
• delivery;
• absence of wording allowing painting metal together with wood.

The current price is checked for a specific configuration. You cannot transfer the cost of a beech option to an oak one or assume that painting work is automatically included in the product price.

Errors due to which the brass footrest ends up under enamel

Error 1. The chair was handed to the painter without a materials map

The contractor perceived the product as a single object.

Finishing passport for batch STU-006

For four or more chairs, it is useful to create a one-page passport. It stays with the customer, painter, assembler, and receiving party.

The passport includes:

1. item number STU-006;
2. quantity;
3. wood material;
4. color;
5. gloss level;
6. control sample number;
7. photo of the finished chair;
8. instruction to preserve the ring patina;
9. instruction not to paint over the four M6 screws;
10. final assembly procedure;
11. acceptance criteria;
12. approval date.

Such a document is especially important for cafes and restaurants, where delivery may occur in several stages. The first and second parts of the batch must be compared against a single reference.

Acceptance criteria without subjective words

Do not write "the brass should look nice." Write:

• the ring has no primer or enamel;
• patina preserved;
• four screws are present;
• the heads are not painted over;
• the splines are clean;
• the coating boundary is even;
• the wood matches the approved sample;
• the degree of gloss is the same on all chairs.

How to calculate control points for a batch

The number of items quickly turns a small part into a large volume of inspection.

For a batch of eight chairs:

• wooden seats — 8;
• sets of legs — 8;
• brass rings — 8;
• M6 screws — 32;
• ring-to-leg boundaries — several on each chair;
• rigid boxes — according to actual shipment.

The inspector should not limit themselves to a sample check of one ring if the agreement provides for control of the entire batch. Even one painted-over screw violates the agreed appearance of a specific chair.

For large orders, it is useful to divide the inspection into three levels:

1. Control sample — confirms the technology.
2. Intermediate batch — shows repeatability.
3. Final acceptance — confirms each set.

Ready order route STU-006

1. Measure the bar counter or island.
2. Check the size 450 × 853 × 417 mm.
3. Make sure a bar format is needed, not a semi-bar format.
4. Choose beech or oak.
5. Determine opaque or transparent finish.
6. For enamel, choose color and gloss.
7. Record the preservation of the patinated ring.
8. Secure four M6 screws on each chair.
9. Coordinate the order of painting and assembly.
10. Order a sample.
11. Prepare a control chair for the batch.
12. Create a finishing passport.
13. Enter materials as separate lines.
14. Clarify the current production time.
15. Coordinate rigid packaging.
16. Calculate delivery.
17. Accept each box.
18. Check the wood, brass, and fasteners before work.
19. Compare the finished batch with the reference sample.
20. Keep a sample for possible reorder.

After approval of the specification, you can order batch STU-006 from the manufacturer. If the project is complex, it is useful to design a bar group for the island and tie the color of the chairs to the facades, countertop, and brass accents.

Shipping conditions and the number of packages should be clarified before payment. For a commercial order, you can calculate delivery for batch STU-006 and assign a person responsible for receiving each rigid box in advance.

Frequently asked questions about STU-006, enamel, and brass footrest

What exactly is made of wood on the STU-006?

Seat and legs. Material: beech or oak.

What is the seat of the chair like?

Wooden, anatomically concave.

How are the legs connected to the seat?

Confirmed tenon-and-mortise joint.

What is the footrest made of?

Made of solid brass rod with a diameter of 14 mm.

How is the brass finished?

Patina confirmed.

How many screws attach the ring?

Four brass M6 screws.

What does STU-006 "under enamel" mean?

This is the execution of wooden parts for further opaque coating. It does not mean painting the brass.

Does the chair come in the already selected color?

The designation "under enamel" itself does not confirm the finished color. The finish needs to be agreed upon separately.

Can the ring be painted together with the legs?

This should not be considered a standard solution. The patinated brass in the configuration in question is preserved, and the order of work is agreed upon.

Is it necessary to remove the ring before painting?

There is no universal answer. Self-disassembly without confirmation is not recommended.

Can the ring be closed with a protective material?

The protection method is chosen by the contractor after checking compatibility with the patina and technology. The article does not specify a particular material.

Why can't the screws be painted over?

They are a visible part of the brass assembly, and paint can fill the slots.

How to check the number of screws?

Multiply the number of chairs by four.

What is the size of STU-006?

450 × 853 × 417 mm.

Does it fit any kitchen island?

No. The height and fit are checked against a specific leg.

Where to compare bar and counter height?

In the article you can choose a bar or counter stool based on the leg parameters.

What material to choose for enamel?

Beech is a clear option for an opaque color. The final decision depends on the project.

When to choose oak?

When visible texture matters and appropriate finishing is planned.

Can oak be painted opaquely?

The possibility is agreed separately. You need to understand why this wood species was chosen if the texture is covered.

What is "Prestige"?

Confirmed quality of wood surface sanding. This is not a ready finish coating.

Is additional preparation needed?

It is determined by the craftsman after acceptance and taking into account the selected material system.

How to choose the enamel color?

Based on a physical sample next to the facades, countertop, and brass ring.

Is the RAL code enough?

The code helps to fix the color, but a real paint sample is still needed.

How to choose the degree of gloss?

Compare matte and semi-matte samples under the lighting of the future room.

Why is a control chair needed?

It shows not only the color of the wood, but also the boundary with brass, the condition of the screws, and the overall look.

Can we limit ourselves to a small sample swatch?

For a single shade — as a first step. For a batch, it's better to check a full unit or chair.

Where can I order a sample?

In this section you can order a control sample swatch.

Is STU-006 suitable for a cafe?

Yes, as a bar stool per the project. For a batch, uniform finishing and control are required.

Where can I order wooden bar stools for a restaurant?

Terms for manufacturers and commercial projects can be reviewed via the link buy wooden bar stools for a restaurant.

How to accept a batch?

Check each chair against the passport: wood, ring, patina, four screws, slots, and packaging.

What to do if enamel gets on brass?

Stop work and contact the responsible contractor. Do not recommend random solvents or self-removal of the coating without testing.

Can patina be cleaned with household chemicals?

Do not use unverified products. Care should be coordinated with the manufacturer.

What to check in a rigid box?

Marking, wood, seat, legs, ring, screws, and possible transport damage.

How long does a custom order take?

The current timeframe should be checked in the product card or with a manager before payment.

Is painting work included in the price?

The execution itself "under enamel" does not confirm this.

Does the ring come included?

The footrest is a confirmed part of the STU-006 construction. The actual completeness is still checked against the invoice and upon acceptance.

Do the four screws come included?

They are confirmed as the ring's mounting. Their presence is checked upon delivery.

Can I order a single chair?

Current ordering conditions are specified in the product card. The article does not invent a minimum order quantity.

How do I calculate the number of chairs for an island?

Based on the counter length, actual seat width, side supports, and walkways. Simply dividing by 450 mm is not enough.

Where can I see all bar stool models?

Can be opened Oak and beech bar stools — catalog and prices and compare the confirmed variants.

Where to see the parent category?

In the section frames and underframes — catalog and prices wooden bases for various furniture projects are presented.

What to choose if you don't want to do painting?

Consider a ready-made model with confirmed finish, for example Hygge, after studying the card.

Can the ring be made in the same color as the wood?

Such execution should not be assumed. In the configuration under consideration, patinated brass is confirmed. Any change is agreed upon separately.

Is it necessary to achieve an exact match of the ring with the brass handles?

Not necessarily. Different metal finishing methods may differ. It is important to agree on the overall palette, not to try to accidentally change the patina.

What to check after final assembly?

Absence of scratches on the enamel, cleanliness of the ring, four screws, even boundary of materials, and compliance with the reference sample.

Is it possible to paint only the visible sides of the legs?

The scope and order of finishing are determined by the agreed technology. A universal reduction in the painting area cannot be assigned.

Is it necessary to keep the control chair after delivering the batch?

For a large commercial project, it is useful to keep at least the passport, photographs, and a signed sample for possible reordering.

What is the main question to ask the painter?

"How will you preserve the patina of the ring and the four brass screws while painting the wood?"

What is the main question to ask the manager?

"In what form is the wood supplied, and what finishing work is not included in the selected option?"

What is the main question to ask the designer?

"How will the wood color look next to the real patinated brass and kitchen facades?"

What is the main question to ask the person accepting the batch?

"On each chair, the ring and four screws remained clean, and the wood color matches the reference?"

Two materials should remain two materials

The STU-006 bar stool is built on expressive contrast: wood forms the seat and legs, while a solid brass ring Ø14 mm with patina ties the lower part of the structure together and serves as a footrest. Four M6 brass screws complete the assembly. If everything is covered with a single enamel, not only does the metallic color disappear—the very logic of the model is lost.

Before ordering, check the dimensions 450 × 853 × 417 mm, choose beech or oak, specify the wood color and gloss, separately note the preservation of the ring and screws, agree on the painting sequence and final assembly. For a batch, produce a control stool and accept each unit according to one finishing passport.

STAVROS allows you to go through this route step by step: choose the STU-006, compare bar and semi-bar models, get a drawing, order a sample, select materials, design a bar group, arrange a batch for a cafe or restaurant, and coordinate delivery in rigid boxes. The more precisely the boundaries of wood and brass are described before work begins, the more convincing the finished stool looks—enamel highlights the wooden form, while the patinated footrest retains its own character.
