BTR Stool: Care Guide

You know it, the BTR Stool is always Better Than a Rock - it's made for the outdoors and can be your everywhere stool if you want as it's highly packable and ultralight. The BTR Stool's structure is made of high quality aluminum alloy 7001 and the seat is a 100% nylon mesh - it is made to last for a long time but we need your help to take good care of it in between outings. This is how we recommend you to take care of your BTR Stool.

Cleaning the seat

If the seat needs a clean after coming in contact with a dirty surface, if something leaked onto it or it has been exposed to for example dust, this is how you do it.

Light dirt:

1. Assemble your BTR Stool. Keep the seat attached

2. Use a damp cloth to wipe off the seat surface

3. Let the stool stand upright to allow for the seat to fully dry. Keep out from direct sunlight

4. Store your BTR Stool in a dry, shaded environment when not in use

Heavy dirt

1. Detach the seat

2. Hand wash in cold water. Make sure to fill up a tub / basin with water and add a light liquid detergent or soap, make sure it is well-mixed with water before adding your seat to it (this is to avoid residue getting stuck in the mesh.) Never machine wash the seat. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach products. Do not machine dry

3. Wipe the seat off on both sides with a dry cloth or paper towel, and put flat or hang it to fully dry. Keep out from direct sunlight4. Attach the seat to the frame again. Store your BTR Stool in a dry, shaded environment when not in use

Cleaning the frame

Where possible, keep the centrepiece clear of snow, ice, water, sand and grit in order to enhance the longevity of the BTR Stool. Being proactive around this is the best thing you can do. However, if there is still dust and other dirt building up on the frame that you want to clean, this is how we recommend you to do so: 

1. Assemble your BTR Stool. Keep the seat attached

2. Use a damp cloth to wipe off the legs, centrepiece and feet. There is no need to use detergent, sprays or soap. Do not use a high pressure hose. Do not submerge the frame in water

3. Let the stool stand upright to allow for the frame to fully dry. Keep out from direct sunlight4. Store your BTR Stool in a dry, shaded environment when not in use

General care and maintenance

• Keep a good habit of always checking your gear after outings. If there is any debris stuck on the legs or centerpiece - make sure to follow the advice above before storing it

• Use care when extending the legs of the stool. Excessive force can pull the legs out of place and may damage the chair

• The BTR Stool is only intended to be used on a flat surface. Only when the weight is evenly distributed across all three legs can the load capacity be guaranteed. Using this product on an uneven surface or while leaning on one side should be done so at risk of the user. Avoid slippery surfaces

• Do not, stand on the seat, throw or drop this product, expose the fabric to fire and hot surfaces, or have more than one person using the stool at the same time
