Know before you buy
No, the height adjustment mechanism on this antique piece is inoperable. It is designed to be used as a fixed-height chair at a standard 16-inch seat height.
While the backrest is designed to flex for added comfort, this is primarily an accent or occasional chair. It is best suited for short-term use rather than an eight-hour workday.
Because this is a genuine antique, you should expect natural wear such as patina, minor scuffs, or variations in the wood and iron. These imperfections are intentional and contribute to the chair's industrial character.
Yes, the 360-degree swivel mechanism is fully functional, allowing you to rotate the seat easily despite the chair's fixed height.
The chair is constructed from heavy iron and wood, which can be abrasive. We recommend using felt pads or a rug underneath the base to protect delicate flooring surfaces.
