About Pad Scaun Pliant

Pad este un scaun pliant conceput pentru a economisi spațiu. Scaunul se pliază într-un panou plat cu dimensiunile de 41 cm lungime, 4 cm lățime și 86 cm înălțime. Mai multe panouri pliate pot fi stivuite și depozitate împreună. Pentru a deschide scaunul, grinda inferioară este trasă în jos astfel încât scaunul și picioarele ies în afară. Șezutul este apoi pliat în sus la 90 de grade, iar picioarele sunt pliate în jos la 90 de grade. Pad este realizat din tec, un lemn stabil, rezistent la uzură și protejat împotriva putrezirii și insectelor. Forma plată se potrivește atât locuințelor, cât și spațiilor publice.
