Know before you buy
You can customize the Chris ML chair with a variety of finishes, including fabric, synthetic nubuck, micro nubuck, soft leather, or synthetic leather to suit your interior needs.
Yes, the quilted detailing on the seatback is a design feature intended to add texture and a sophisticated aesthetic to the chair's silhouette.
The use of variable density polyurethane foam ensures the seat provides both initial softness and necessary structural support, preventing the cushion from flattening out over time.
The frame is finished with epoxy powder varnishes, making it quite durable. Simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust; avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the embossed finish.
With a total height of 34 1/4 inches, this chair is designed to tuck comfortably under most standard dining tables. We recommend measuring the clearance from your tabletop to the floor to ensure a perfect fit.
