A Dining Chair Half Upholstered

The Mjosa dining chairs arrive as a coordinated pair, each pairing a single upholstered shell with a seat that is left as bare wood. The shell starts at one armrest, carries around the back and finishes at the other with no seam and no separate arm bolted on, and it sits above the seat on four short posts so daylight passes between the two. The seat itself is a shaped panel, dished slightly through the middle and dropping at the front edge, set into a solid wood apron that ties the four legs together. Metal screw heads are left visible where the posts meet the shell and where the apron meets each leg, showing how the chair is put together rather than hiding it. The legs are square in section, tapering as they splay outward to a small non-slip cap at each foot.

Features

• Contoured Wood Seat is left bare rather than padded, dished through the middle and dropping at the front edge, so the surface taking the crumbs is the one that wipes clean in a pass
• One-Piece Back and Arms carry from one armrest around the back to the other in a single upholstered shell, with no seam at the corners and no separate arm bolted on
• Shell Set Above the Seat rests on four short posts rather than meeting the seat directly, leaving daylight between the two and keeping the whole upper half visually light
• Exposed Screw Heads stay visible where the posts meet the shell and where the apron meets each leg, showing the construction rather than plugging it over
• Solid Wood Apron ties the four legs together beneath the seat panel and carries the load across the frame rather than through the seat itself
• Tapered Splayed Legs are square in section and angle outward as they descend, widening the stance beyond the footprint of the seat above
• Woven Fabric Upholstery covers the shell inside and out in the same textured weave, holding a soft surface against the bare wood below it
• 300-Pound Seat Capacity per chair for confident everyday adult seating across the pair
• Mid-Size Dining Footprint suits eat-in kitchens, breakfast nooks and dining rooms seating four to six, with a wipe-clean seat that earns its place at a busy table

Materials

• Back and Arm Upholstery: Woven Fabric
• Seat Panel: Molded Plywood
• Frame, Legs and Apron: Solid Rubberwood
• Wood Finish: Sealed
• Exposed Fasteners: Metal
• Floor Glides: Non-Slip Caps

Care Instructions

• Wipe the wood seat with a soft cloth after meals, since the sealed surface releases crumbs and dry spills without needing to be lifted out of a weave
• Blot liquid off the seat promptly rather than letting it stand, as the sealed finish takes up moisture at the grain over time
• Avoid harsh chemicals and household cleaners on any wood surface, as they can lift the sealed finish
• Vacuum the upholstered shell weekly with a soft brush attachment, working along the inside curve where dust settles first
• Spot-clean marks on the shell with a cloth lightly dampened in mild upholstery cleaner, blotting rather than rubbing so the weave is not pulled
• Test any cleaner on a hidden section of the shell first, and let the fabric dry fully before use
• Keep the chairs indoors, as the sealed rubberwood and the upholstery are not finished for outdoor exposure
• Keep the chairs out of prolonged direct sunlight to protect both the wood seat and the shell
• Retighten the exposed screws by hand every few months rather than with a power driver, which can strip the wood beneath them
• Clear grit from the floor glides so the splayed legs stay level on hardwood, tile or laminate
