Know before you buy
The seat of the PP250 is hinged, allowing it to lift upward to reveal a hollow, discreet storage space underneath. It is designed to hold small personal items like wallets, watches, or jewelry.
Yes, the back leg is specifically carved and reinforced to act as a functional valet hanger. It is designed to support the weight of standard coats and jackets without compromising the chair's structural integrity.
The finish options—such as soaped, clear oil, or white oil—primarily affect the wood's appearance and maintenance. Soaped finishes offer a natural, matte look that requires periodic re-soaping, while oiled finishes provide a slightly richer tone and a more durable, moisture-resistant surface.
Yes, the PP250 is equipped with standard felt glides on the base of the legs. These are designed to protect your floors from scratches and allow the chair to slide smoothly.
Consider the existing wood tones in your room. You can choose to match the frame and seat for a monochromatic look or mix different wood species to create a subtle, two-tone contrast that highlights the chair's unique construction.
Maintenance depends on your chosen finish. Generally, dusting with a soft cloth is sufficient, and you should avoid harsh cleaners. If you select a soaped finish, you will occasionally need to apply a wood soap solution to nourish the timber and maintain its protective layer.
