Know before you buy
Yes, the chair is upholstered in performance fabric, which is specifically engineered to be durable and resistant to stains, making it a practical choice for dining or high-traffic areas.
The Dune finish is a transparent, sand-colored stain. It is designed to let the natural wood grain show through, giving the chair an authentic, organic appearance rather than a solid, painted look.
The raffia cane provides a firm, supportive backrest with a slight natural flex. While it offers a different feel than a fully upholstered back, it is designed for comfortable, upright dining posture.
No, this chair is strictly designed for indoor use. The natural materials, including the raffia cane and specific wood finish, are not treated to withstand the humidity and temperature fluctuations of outdoor environments.
The rope trim is a decorative accent that should be kept clean by light dusting or vacuuming with a soft brush attachment. Avoid using harsh liquid cleaners directly on the rope to maintain its texture and integrity.
