Know before you buy
Yes, the Gaston Side Chair is sold as a set of two chairs.
The chairs arrive partially assembled and require some assembly upon delivery. All necessary hardware and instructions are included to complete the process.
The seat height is 20 1/2 inches. This is slightly taller than a standard dining chair, so we recommend measuring the clearance under your table apron to ensure a comfortable fit.
To maintain the linen, we recommend regular light vacuuming with an upholstery attachment to prevent dust buildup. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth; professional cleaning is recommended for stubborn stains.
The perforated metal grille is designed primarily for aesthetic appeal and structural support. While it provides a sturdy backrest, it is a firm surface, so you may prefer to use it in a dining setting where you are not leaning back for extended periods.
No, these chairs are designed exclusively for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements like moisture and direct sunlight may damage the linen upholstery and the Mercantile White finish.
