Know before you buy
Yes, but only if you select the Hand Brushed finish. The Hand Polished finish is intended for indoor use only.
The chair weighs 7 pounds. Its lightweight construction makes it very easy to move around your dining space or patio.
The Hand Polished finish is highly reflective and may show fingerprints more easily than the Hand Brushed version. Both finishes are extremely durable, but the brushed texture is generally more forgiving regarding minor surface wear.
The seat height is 18 inches, which is the standard height for most dining tables.
You can clean the chair by wiping it down with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, a mild soap and water solution works well, followed by a dry cloth to prevent water spots.
The Navy Chair is designed with a contoured seat and backrest for ergonomic support. While it is a firm, metal chair, its shape is engineered for comfort during meals and extended gatherings.
