Know before you buy
Yes, the chair is designed to withstand harsh conditions and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. Its aluminum construction is naturally resistant to rust and fire.
No, the Navy Chair arrives fully assembled. It is crafted as a single, robust piece through a 77-step manufacturing process.
The chair weighs only 7 pounds. Its lightweight aluminum frame makes it very easy to move around a dining room or patio as needed.
The brushed finish offers a matte, textured look that highlights the utilitarian nature of the aluminum, while the polished finish provides a high-gloss, mirror-like appearance. Both options are equally durable and weather-resistant.
The Navy Chair features an ergonomic, contoured seat and backrest designed for support. While it is a firm, metal chair, its classic shape is widely considered comfortable for standard dining durations.
You can clean the chair by wiping it down with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Because the aluminum is durable and non-porous, it does not require special sealants or complex maintenance to keep its finish.
