Know before you buy
The chair is designed with a contoured, steam-bent shell that provides ergonomic support for dining or workspace tasks. While it lacks upholstery, the natural flexibility of the ash veneer offers a comfortable, slight give.
The Grand Prix chair is designed to be stackable for efficient storage. You can safely stack up to 12 chairs when not in use, making it a practical choice for smaller dining areas or flexible workspaces.
The powder-coated steel base provides a durable, scratch-resistant finish that is more resilient than standard paint. It offers a clean, modern aesthetic while ensuring the chair remains stable and sturdy over years of daily use.
The ash veneer is finished to be durable, but it should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the wood grain and protective finish.
With a seat height of 18.1 inches, the Grand Prix chair is compatible with most standard dining tables, which typically measure between 28 and 30 inches in height. This leaves ample legroom for most users.
