Know before you buy
The chair is upholstered in a stain-resistant performance velvet. This fabric is specifically chosen for its durability and ease of maintenance in a dining environment.
The rubber webbing is integrated beneath the seat cushion to provide a flexible, supportive base. It offers a slight 'give' that makes the chair more comfortable for extended periods of sitting compared to a rigid wood base.
The Rodin chair stands 29.5 inches tall. Given its height, it is designed to tuck neatly under most standard dining tables, though you should measure the clearance from your table apron to the floor to ensure a comfortable fit.
The frame features a hand-applied finish that highlights the natural wood grain. To maintain its appearance, simply dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could strip the finish.
Yes, its armless design and compact footprint make it an excellent choice for smaller areas. The curved backrest provides ergonomic support without the bulk of traditional dining chairs.
The Rodin Dining Side Chair is sold as a single unit. This allows you to purchase the exact number needed to fit your specific table size or to mix and match with other seating styles.
