Photography & Colour 

We do our best to photograph each piece accurately, but lighting, shadows, and screen calibration all affect how a piece reads on camera. Our pieces are batch-to-batch by nature — colour and tone will shift between production runs. What you receive will always be within the character of the piece shown, but may not be an exact match. We encourage you to embrace the individuality of your piece.

The Narrative of Colour Traces 

This is intentional. Where a traditional manufacturer would discard colour blends, we do not. In our single colour Classics, subtle traces of other colours are celebrated — this is how we originally began, making one-off pieces with distinct marble patterns. The more striking versions now live in our Rare and Lookchoop collections, but traces remain in the Classics because we believe in individuality.

Batch-to-Batch Variation 

We work with the natural colour of recycled materials rather than standardising with dye. While we try to match each previous batch as closely as possible, each production run will vary slightly in tone.

Natural Characteristics 

Every piece goes through quality control before it leaves us. Some marks are unavoidable in small-batch recycled plastic production — these are features, not defects:

Mould cut lines: a line runs along each side of the leg near the top, often resulting in a slightly lighter shade. A natural result of the production mould.

Structural visibility: because our stools are semi-transparent, the internal bone structure may be more visible on some pieces depending on cooling rate, which varies piece to piece.

Minor surface lines and crawling: when reclaimed materials are cleaned and reinjected, trace moisture can remain, resulting in crawl lines on the surface. We find these quite charming. Pieces with particularly distinct crawl lines, air gaps, or tiny injected dust particles often find their way into our Rare collection.

If your piece arrived cracked, broken, or structurally compromised — contact hello@rumbabor.com within 7 days with clear photos and video of the outer packaging, unpacking and the damaged item. We will take care of you.
