What customers say
Customers consistently praise the superior quality and enduring design of the Frances Dining Armchair. Reviewers frequently highlight the robust construction and the beautiful aging process of the teak wood, affirming its status as a premium investment piece. The chair's classic aesthetic integrates seamlessly into various outdoor settings, making it a highly desired item. While the price point is high, consumers feel the longevity and craftsmanship justify the expense, viewing it as furniture built to last generations.
Know before you buy
The teak hardwood is naturally high in oil content, making it exceptionally resistant to moisture, salt air, and decay. Over time, the wood will develop a beautiful silvery-gray patina if left untreated, which does not affect its structural integrity.
No, the wicker is specifically engineered for outdoor use and is UV-resistant to prevent fading and brittleness. It is designed to maintain its color and flexibility even when exposed to intense, direct sun for long periods.
The cushions are upholstered in high-quality, weather-resistant Grade A fabric designed to withstand outdoor conditions. While they are durable, we recommend storing them in a dry place during heavy rain or winter months to keep them clean and extend their lifespan.
The seat height is 19 inches, which is standard for most outdoor dining tables. With an arm height of 24.5 inches, you should ensure your table has at least 25 inches of clearance underneath to allow the chair to tuck in comfortably.
The Kingsley Bate Frances Dining Armchair typically arrives fully assembled or with minimal attachment required, depending on the specific shipping configuration. It is a sturdy, well-constructed piece designed for immediate use.
