A Seat That Sits on Top

The Steffen dining chairs arrive as a coordinated pair, each built with the cushion resting over the frame rather than upholstered into it. The pillow top overhangs the seat pan on all sides, and the lower layer stays visible as a second band beneath it, so the seat reads as two stacked pieces from any angle. Above it the back divides into three horizontal channels, each padded to stand proud of the seams between them, and a rolled edge closes the top. Distressed faux leather covers both in a mottled finish that lightens across the open faces and darkens toward every fold. Beneath, a black steel tube loops forward at the floor and rises to meet the frame at four points, leaving the space under the seat completely open.

Features

• Pillow Top Seat Cushion rests over the frame rather than upholstered into it, overhanging on all sides so the lower layer stays visible as a second band beneath the cushion
• Three-Channel Back divides the backrest into horizontal bands, each padded to stand proud of the seams so the back reads as stacked segments rather than one flat panel
• Deep Foam Fill builds both the cushion and the channels well above the frame, giving under weight and coming back rather than pressing flat through a long sitting
• Distressed Faux Leather covers the seat and back in a mottled finish worked light across the open faces and darker toward every fold, so no two panels read exactly alike
• Black Steel Sled Base loops forward at the floor and rises to the frame at four points, leaving the space beneath the seat open and the footprint reading light
• Rolled Crown Edge closes the top of the back in a soft roll rather than a hard cut, finishing the silhouette cleanly against a wall
• Protective Floor Glides cap the base where it meets the ground to keep hardwood, tile and laminate clear of scuffs when a chair gets moved
• Coordinated Pair for Two drops two matching chairs into a breakfast corner, a bedroom seating spot, or the two open places at a longer table in one purchase

Materials

• Seat and Back Upholstery: Distressed Faux Leather
• Seat and Back Fill: High-Density Foam
• Base and Frame: Powder-Coated Steel
• Floor Glides: Protective Plastic Caps
• Hardware: Metal Bolts and Fasteners

Care Instructions

• Wipe the faux leather with a soft damp cloth and a leather-safe cleaner, testing on a hidden area first
• Work lightly over the darker mottled areas, where the distressed finish sits in the surface layer and can lift under pressure
• Blot spills promptly with a clean dry cloth rather than rubbing, and dry the surface fully afterward
• Draw a soft cloth through each channel seam on the back and around the edge of the pillow cushion, where crumbs and dust collect fastest
• Keep sharp objects away from the upholstery, since a cut in faux leather does not close over the way a woven fabric can
• Plump the pillow cushion by hand every few weeks so the fill stays even across the seat rather than settling toward one side
• Keep the chairs out of prolonged direct sunlight, which can dry and stiffen the faux leather over time
• Wipe the powder-coated base with a soft damp cloth and dry immediately to prevent water spotting
• Touch up any chip in the powder coating so the steel beneath is not left exposed to damp
• Check and retighten the frame bolts every few months, and keep the chairs on a level floor
