A Dining Chair Cut Back to the Waist

The Yukon dining chairs arrive as a coordinated pair, each drawn around a backrest that carries no more frame than it needs. A single upholstered panel curves gently forward at both ends and sits raised on two solid wood posts that rise from the seat frame, leaving the shoulders and the whole upper back open above it. The seat below is a deep cushion over six inches thick, upholstered in woven linen with the corners softened where the thighs meet the edge, and the same linen wraps the curved back panel on both faces. Four tapered solid wood legs carry the frame square with a threaded foot under each that turns to level the chair. Armless and just over twenty inches wide, each chair pushes fully under a table between meals.

Features

• Curved Floating Backrest raises a single upholstered panel at waist height on two wood posts, curving forward at both ends where it meets the sides of the back
• Open Upper Back leaves everything above the panel clear, so the chair takes up less visual weight in a room than a full-height back would
• Six-Inch Seat Cushion builds the seat over deep foam padding, thick enough to stay comfortable through a long meal rather than compressing to the frame
• Solid Wood Legs and Posts carry the frame and the backrest on timber throughout, tapered toward the floor in a natural grain finish
• Woven Linen Upholstery wraps the seat and both faces of the back panel in a textured matte weave that reads warm against the wood
• Adjustable Foot Nails thread up or down under each leg to level the chair on tile, hardwood or laminate and stop it rocking mid-meal
• Armless Slim Profile keeps each chair narrow enough to push fully under the table, so a pair closes up without overlapping at a corner
• Coordinated Set of Two drops a matching pair into dining rooms, kitchens and apartment eating corners in one purchase

Care Instructions

• Vacuum the linen regularly with a soft brush attachment to lift dust before it settles into the weave
• Spot-clean marks with a cloth dampened in mild upholstery cleaner, blotting rather than rubbing to protect the weave
• Test any cleaner on a hidden section of the seat first, and let the fabric dry fully before use
• Avoid soaking the linen, and blot spills as they happen rather than letting liquid sit along the seam
• Keep the chairs out of prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the linen over time
• Wipe the solid wood legs and posts with a soft dry cloth, avoiding prolonged moisture
• Use the chairs indoors only, and keep them clear of damp rooms and unheated spaces
• Turn the foot nails to re-level a chair if it begins to rock on an uneven floor
• Keep the feet clear of grit, and lift rather than drag the chairs when repositioning them
• Check and retighten the leg and post hardware every few months
