Know before you buy
To keep the taupe velvet looking its best, vacuum regularly with an upholstery attachment to remove dust. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth; avoid rubbing, which can crush the velvet pile.
With a total height of 35 inches, this chair is designed to fit under most standard dining tables. However, we recommend measuring the distance from your floor to the underside of your table apron to ensure the armrests clear the table edge.
The rubbed black lacquer provides a sophisticated, matte-adjacent aesthetic. While it is durable, like any fine wood finish, it should be protected from sharp objects and cleaned with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to prevent surface marring.
Given the 27-inch width, these chairs have a substantial footprint. We suggest allowing at least 30 inches of table perimeter per chair to ensure guests have enough elbow room and can move in and out comfortably.
The Maitland-Smith Regency Arm Chair is delivered fully assembled. You can place it directly into your dining space upon arrival.
