Know before you buy
The composite material has a soft, matte finish that feels warmer and more organic than standard plastic. You will notice subtle, natural color variations across the shell due to the visible wood fibers embedded in the material.
The Fiber Side Chair features a smooth 360-degree swivel functionality. It does not include an automatic return-to-center mechanism, allowing you to rotate freely in any direction.
Yes, the shell is ergonomically shaped with embracing curves designed to support the body comfortably. While it is a side chair rather than a lounge chair, its thoughtful geometry makes it well-suited for dining or extended work sessions.
The matte shell is durable and easy to maintain. Simply wipe it down with a clean, damp cloth; for tougher spots, you can use a mild soap solution, but avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the matte texture.
With a seat height of 18.1 inches and an overall height of 30.3 inches, this chair is designed to fit comfortably under most standard dining tables. Its compact footprint also makes it an excellent choice for smaller dining areas or home offices.
The powder-coated steel tube base provides a sturdy, balanced foundation. While it is stable on most surfaces, we recommend using felt glides if you are placing the chair on hardwood or delicate flooring to prevent scratching.
