Know before you buy
The chair is surprisingly ergonomic due to its wire construction, which offers a slight flex. For extended dining or work sessions, we recommend opting for the version with a seat pad to provide additional cushioning.
No, the Bertoia Side Chair arrives fully assembled and ready for use. It is a solid, welded piece designed for immediate placement in your home.
To keep the chrome looking its best, wipe it down regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or steel wool, which can scratch the polished surface.
The standard polished chrome version is intended for indoor use only. Exposure to moisture and outdoor elements can cause the metal finish to rust or degrade over time.
The chair comes with glides on the base to protect your flooring. However, if you are concerned about delicate surfaces, adding felt pads to the glides is a simple and effective extra precaution.
