Know before you buy
The seat height is 20 inches, which is standard for most dining tables and provides a comfortable posture for dining.
The polished mahogany frame should be dusted regularly with a soft, dry cloth. To maintain the luster of the finish, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or placing the chair in direct, prolonged sunlight.
The fabric is chosen for its versatile, sophisticated aesthetic. While it complements many decor styles, it is a standard upholstery textile, so we recommend treating it with a fabric protector if you anticipate frequent spills or heavy daily use.
Yes, the chair features a traditional Chippendale backrest that provides firm, upright support. It is designed for formal dining and conversation rather than lounging.
The chair measures 25 inches wide, 24 inches deep, and 41 inches high, making it a substantial piece that works well in both formal dining rooms and as an accent chair.
