A Farmhouse Dining Chair That Floats

The Michigan dining chairs arrive as a coordinated pair, each built on a solid rubberwood frame that continues its rear legs up into two flat posts. A rounded upholstered pad bolts onto those posts and sits clear of the seat, so the backrest reads as a single soft shape held above the frame rather than a panel filling the whole back. The seat below is a deep cushion of high-density foam wrapped in chenille and set into a squared wood surround, with four straight legs cut to the same square section as the frame above them. Nothing projects at the sides, and each chair slides fully under a table between meals, while the open span between pad and cushion keeps the silhouette light where a solid back would close it off.

Features

• Floating Rounded Backrest bolts onto the posts above the seat and stops short of the cushion, holding one soft rounded shape where a full panel would close off the frame
• Twin-Post Back Supports take the rear legs straight up into two flat uprights, one length of rubberwood working as both leg and backrest mount
• Deep Foam Seat Cushion pads the seat well past the depth of a thin drop-in pad, keeping its shape through long dinners rather than flattening under everyday use
• Chenille Woven Upholstery wraps the seat and back pad in a soft textured weave that catches light in fine flecks and reads warm against the natural wood
• Solid Rubberwood Frame builds the legs, seat surround and back posts from natural hardwood, carrying the grain around all four sides instead of hiding it under fabric
• Squared Leg Profile drops four straight legs from the seat surround in the same square section as the frame above, setting a clean-lined base under the rounded back
• Armless Compact Footprint keeps each chair narrow enough to tuck fully under the table and pull out without knocking the chair beside it in a tight dining corner
• Coordinated Set of Two drops a matching pair into dining rooms, eat-in kitchens and apartment dining corners in one purchase, ready to pair again as the table grows

Care Instructions

• Vacuum the chenille regularly with a soft brush attachment to lift dust before it settles into the pile
• Spot-clean marks with a cloth dampened in mild upholstery cleaner, blotting rather than rubbing to protect the chenille pile
• Test any cleaner on a hidden section of the seat first, and let the fabric dry fully before use
• Avoid soaking the upholstery, and keep the chairs out of prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the fabric across all five variants
• Wipe the solid rubberwood legs, posts and seat surround with a soft dry cloth, avoiding prolonged moisture
• Apply a wood-safe polish a few times a year to protect the natural finish
• Check the bolts at the backrest posts every few months and retighten any that have worked loose
• Lift rather than drag the chairs when repositioning them
