A Dining Chair That Sits High

The Elba dining chairs arrive as a set of four, all the same shape, height and color. The back of each is a single curved panel, rounded across the top and turned forward at both sides, so it wraps a little instead of standing flat. Below it the seat is a separate padded cushion with its front edge rounded off. What separates these chairs from most is the height of that seat, which is set noticeably higher off the floor than the standard dining chair. That makes them a match for taller dining tables rather than low ones, and it is worth measuring the table before ordering. The legs are metal in a walnut tone, tapering toward the floor, and all four meet a cross brace fixed under the seat.

Features

• Seat Sits Higher than the usual dining chair, which is what makes these a match for a taller table instead of a standard one
• Four Chairs, One Set in matching shape, height and color, so a table is filled in a single order rather than built up two at a time
• Curved Back Wraps Slightly at both sides rather than standing flat, so the panel follows the shape of a back instead of meeting it edge on
• No Arms to Catch so the chairs push fully under a table and two can sit side by side without their frames touching
• Cross Brace Under Seat takes all four legs, so each leg fixes into metal rather than into the padded shell above it
• Ribbed Woven Cover carries fine horizontal lines and flecks of lighter yarn, so the surface holds texture rather than reading as a flat block of color
• Fabric Covers Both Faces including the reverse of the back panel, so the chairs look finished from behind when they stand away from the table
• One Shape, Several Tones keeps the frame and the proportions constant across the color range, so the choice is about tone rather than about a different chair
• Dining Room or Desk suits a dining table, a kitchen table or a single chair pulled to a desk, as long as the surface is on the taller side

Care Instructions

• Vacuum the fabric with a soft brush attachment to lift dust before it settles into the ribs
• Brush along the ribs rather than across them, since debris collects in the grooves
• Spot clean with a barely damp cloth and a mild upholstery cleaner, blotting rather than rubbing, and test a hidden area first
• Let the fabric air dry fully and keep standing moisture off the seat
• Wipe the legs with a dry or barely damp cloth, then dry them
• Check and tighten the leg bolts at the cross brace every few months
• Keep the foot caps in place and clear of grit, and stand the chairs on a level floor
• Lift the chairs rather than dragging them
• Rotate the four chairs around the table now and then so they wear at the same rate
• Keep the set out of long periods of direct sunlight, which pale fabric shows more readily than dark
