Know before you buy
The chair measures 38 inches wide by 41 inches deep, with a height of 35 inches. Given its deep profile and sloping pitch, ensure you have enough clearance in your room for a comfortable walkway around the piece.
With a seat height of 17 inches and a slight sloping pitch, the chair is designed for a relaxed, lounge-style posture rather than an upright task position. The contoured headrest and interior armrest further support this laid-back orientation.
The ottoman is optional, but it significantly enhances the lounge experience by allowing you to fully extend your legs. Since the chair has a deep seat depth of 23 inches, the ottoman is recommended if you plan to use the piece for extended periods of relaxation.
The polished stainless steel frame can be maintained by wiping it down with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints or dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can scratch or dull the high-polish finish.
Yes, the Boldido chair is made to order and can be upholstered in a variety of in-house curated fabrics or leathers. This allows you to tailor the aesthetic to match your existing interior palette.
