Know before you buy
The cantilever base is designed to provide a subtle, natural flex when you sit, offering a more dynamic and comfortable experience than a traditional four-legged chair. It provides stable support while creating a sleek, floating aesthetic.
Your choice should depend on your lifestyle and desired texture. Eco-leather and technical velvet are excellent for high-traffic dining areas due to their durability and ease of cleaning, while Nappa leather and pure virgin wool offer a more premium, tactile feel.
The metal frame is durable and low-maintenance. We recommend wiping it down with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the specific finish, such as the delicate Gold or Aged Brass options.
With a width of 21.7 inches and a depth of 21.3 inches, the Kuga is moderately sized. Because of its open cantilever frame, it creates a sense of visual lightness that can help a smaller dining room feel less cluttered than it would with bulkier, solid-base chairs.
The chair arrives requiring assembly, which typically involves attaching the upholstered seat shell to the metal cantilever frame. All necessary hardware is included, and the process is straightforward for those comfortable with basic furniture assembly.
The seat height is 19.3 inches, which is standard for most dining tables. This height provides a comfortable ergonomic posture for the average adult, ensuring your legs have enough clearance under the table apron.
