The S2U Balcony Bar is a must have for anyone who lives in an apartment with balcony – Particularly if the apartment has a spectacular view.
Urban living has its advantages – and disadvantages. The latter is the lack of a garden and outdoor space. So why are balconies often not used enough to compensate for this? Well, they are usually small and feel rather claustrophobic with a small table and a couple of chairs.
The S2U Balcony Bar has the ingredients, however, to transform the balcony from being merely bicycle storage or a laundry space, to becoming the most enjoyable space in the apartment.
With a set of stackable SEVEN stools and an S2U Balcony bar, you have the whole versatility of retaining the laundry space, while having a small shelf for a cup of coffee, while enjoying the view, or you can have a whole bar top which can be used for a lap top, or for entertaining friends visiting, or even having a meal in comfort – all in one affordable product. This is because the bar folds to three optional positions:
First position is with the bar totally folded down to only intruding 40 mm into the narrow balcony space, so the space for drying laundry in fresh air is not sacrificed.
Second position gives you a shelf for a cup of coffee, an ash tray or other small items.
Third position provides a full bar top which is big enough for several people – up to 4 for the 2M version – to have a meal on the balcony while enjoying the sunset.
The S2U Balcony Bar addresses the fact that not all railings are the same height. So the height position can be adjusted by up to 20 cm to ensure the optimal ratio between the bar stool seat height and the height of the bar top for perfect comfort and ergonomics.
Equally the bar is designed to fit on balcony railing widths, ranging from 20 mm to 120 mm.
Most metal components are made of galvanised steel which is then powder coated for perfect weather protection. The vertical sliding bars allowing for height adjustment are made of extruded, anodised aluminium.
The wood parts are made of sustainable Vietnamese Acacia, rich in natural oil, good for outdoor durability. The wood is then finished with RUBIO Oil, which is famous for its protective properties through molecular bonding with the cellulose in the wood, combined with its environmental friendliness – the RUBIO oil is even approved for food contact.
The S2U Balcony Bars are designed for the general public to enjoy their balconies more. But a lot of thought has also been put into making them a commercial winner for the merchant, as well as built in features for cost optimisation and distribution. For example the bars are supplied flat, while almost fully assembled, allowing for better loadability in containers, in turn allowing for really competitive retail pricing, while providing a good margin for the retailer.
For shipping protection, the packaging format is ‘tray and lid’, providing a double 5-ply cardboard layer on all 4 sides. The inside padding is also made of cardboard, avoiding plastic to minimise the environmental burden.
This packaging format is perfect for distribution of online orders.
While the S2U Balcony Bar is a must have for people with a balcony, it is also a commercial winner for any retailer selling outdoor or balcony furniture.
