Product Description
The Bristol is a bar-height chair combining a rubber wood frame with a metal cross-back and an upholstered seat pad in Shetland Scarlett. The styling sits within the retro-industrial aesthetic that has become common in casual dining rooms, bars, and café environments — practical enough for everyday contract use, and considered enough to work in front-of-house spaces where appearance matters.
Built for contract use, the rubber wood frame offers reasonable durability under the repeated stress of a busy service environment. The metal cross-back adds structural rigidity without significantly increasing weight, which helps with rearranging covers between services. The padded seat pad improves comfort for guests seated over longer dining periods, which is a practical consideration for venues with slower dining formats such as à la carte or tasting menus.
Key practical points for operators:
- Rubber wood frame suited to contract hospitality environments
- Metal cross-back adds structural support and visual character
- Upholstered seat pad in Shetland Scarlett for guest comfort
- Bar-height format suitable for counter seating and high tables
- Straightforward construction supports routine maintenance and cleaning
At 10kg, the chair is manageable for front-of-house teams to reposition, though it is worth confirming floor surface compatibility before ordering in volume — rubber wood legs on hard or uneven flooring may benefit from protective feet or floor pads. The chair is supplied with a one-year warranty, which is in line with standard contract furniture expectations at this price point.
The Bristol suits casual dining venues, bars, and café-style operations looking for a consistent front-of-house aesthetic without a high per-unit cost. It is a reasonable starting point for smaller sites or seasonal spaces. For venues with very high turnover or where chairs are subject to particularly heavy daily use, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty specification would be more appropriate long-term.
If you are fitting out a room and want to talk through quantities, mix of seating formats, or suitability for your particular floor and table setup, we are happy to help before you commit to an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The rubber wood frame and upholstered seat pad are designed for indoor contract use. Prolonged exposure to moisture or direct sunlight is likely to shorten the lifespan of both the frame and the seat pad, so it is not recommended for uncovered outdoor areas. A covered terrace with good weather protection may be acceptable depending on conditions, but we would suggest discussing this before ordering.
- The seat pad fabric will tolerate routine surface cleaning, but the longevity of the upholstery depends significantly on the cleaning products used and the frequency of spills. For venues with high covers or messy service formats, it is worth considering how the fabric will perform over time and whether a wipe-clean alternative might be more practical.
- The Bristol is a bar-height chair intended for use with counter or high tables, typically in the 1000–1100mm height range. Before ordering, it is advisable to confirm your table heights to ensure the seat-to-table clearance is comfortable — standard ergonomic guidance suggests approximately 250–300mm between seat height and table surface.
