Know before you buy
No, the chair arrives fully assembled and ready for use. It is crafted as a solid, singular piece to ensure structural integrity.
The paper cord is treated with a light wax coating to provide resistance against spills and dirt. For routine maintenance, simply vacuum the seat occasionally with a soft brush attachment and wipe away any spills immediately with a dry cloth.
The back cushion is an optional accessory and is not included with the standard chair purchase. The frame does feature integrated grooves specifically designed to accommodate the cushion if you choose to add one for extra support.
The seat height is 15.4 inches. This height is specifically engineered for a relaxed lounge posture, providing a comfortable, laid-back experience that works well in living rooms or reading nooks.
The oak frame is available in black, lacquered, or oiled finishes. The oiled and lacquered options highlight the natural grain and warmth of the wood, while the black finish offers a more modern, graphic silhouette that emphasizes the chair's clean lines.
