Frequently Asked Questions

 1.     Can the Chair Monkey Pack™ be washed?

Yes, we recommend cold water on the gentle cycle. Lay the Pack flat to dry. The material is also cleaned easily with a sponge. Proper care will allow you to use your Chair Monkey Pack™ for years to come.  

2.     Will a chair tip with the Chair Monkey Pack™ on the back?

The Pack was designed to equally distribute weight such that the chair will not tip.  The Pack is intended for folders, spiral notebooks, supplies and daily readers or library books.    

3.     What if the Chair Monkey Pack™ does not fit on my chair?

Unused Chair Monkey Packs™ can be returned for a refund. The small Chair Monkey Pack™ was designed to fit standard 14” to 17” elementary school chairs. A larger home version fits chairs at home.  If you have questions, please contact us.

5.     How are entire schools or classes paying for the Chair Monkey Pack™ for every student? 

●    The most common method is when teachers add the Chair Monkey Pack™ to the required school supply list. Information on how a parent can purchase the Pack is provided to the parent with the school supply list and on the school website, if available.

●    Another option is to request funds from the PTA for school-wide, entire classroom purchase or qualified student.

6.   I like the idea of adding the Chair Monkey Pack™ to the school supply list, but what about families who cannot afford it?

We do not want anyone to miss out on the benefits of the Chair Monkey Pack™. One pricing option for volume purchases is to elect a number of free Packs rather than the maximum discount in order to provide a Pack to qualified students. Please Contact Us for information on this option.

7.    What have you heard from teachers and others who have used or seen the Chair Monkey Pack™?

8.    Why do you think the water bottle holder is so important?

In the army, they say, “If you don’t need to go to the bathroom RIGHT NOW, you’re not drinking enough water.” On a serious note, research shows the benefit of being well hydrated (drinking the recommended amount of water daily) reduces Cortisol levels. Cortisol is also known as the stress hormone. Hydration helps lower this hormone level.  Heightened Cortisol levels also have been linked to impaired cognitive performance, decreased alertness and concentration levels and lowered immunity. All of these impact how children perform and react in school. If water can help improve these functions, the more easily accessible the water, the better.

9.     What other products does Awesomely Organized offer?

Just one great product right now with more than one use. Many parents have purchased the Chair Monkey Pack™ for home use. This includes those whose children use the Chair Monkey Pack at school, those whose children do not use the Chair Monkey Pack™ at school but like the organization/space optimization system, as well as parents who home school.  Awesomely Organized also has the larger version that will fit the wider variety of chairs at the home. Stay tuned for other products that are in the pipeline.

10.      Where does the Chair Monkey Pack™ go when we stack our chairs at the end of the day?

We have heard of several approaches to end of day use. If the chair must be stacked, some teachers put the chair with the Pack on top of the desk. Others stack the chairs and place the Pack on the desk at the end of day and return it to the back of the chair in the morning. The Pack is intended to stay in the classroom rather than take home each night.
