Product Description
The Bristol bar chair is a cross-back bar-height chair constructed from rubber wood with a weathered oak finish and an upholstered seat pad in Shetland Smoke. The cross-back design draws on a broadly retro-industrial aesthetic, while the warm timber finish keeps it approachable and versatile across a range of venue styles — from casual dining bars to pub dining areas and café counter seating.
Built to contract specification, the Bristol is intended for environments where chairs see continuous daily use. Rubber wood is a practical choice for contract furniture: it is a dense, stable hardwood that resists warping and holds fixings well under repeated stress. The upholstered seat pad adds comfort for seated customers without compromising the chair's overall durability, which matters in higher-turnover venues where guests may sit for extended periods.
- Cross-back frame in weathered oak-finish rubber wood
- Upholstered Shetland Smoke seat pad for added customer comfort
- Contract-rated construction suitable for high-traffic use
- Consistent finish makes pairing across table sets straightforward
- Suitable for indoor bar, counter, and high-table seating arrangements
This chair is designed strictly for indoor use. It is not suitable for outdoor terraces or covered areas exposed to moisture. At 10kg, individual chairs are manageable to reposition, though stacking is not a feature of this design, so storage space between services is worth considering if the floor plan changes regularly.
The Bristol suits venues looking for a consistent, mid-register contract chair with visual character — gastropubs, café-bars, and casual dining operations are typical fits. For venues needing a lighter chair for more frequent rearrangement, or a stackable option for flexible event spaces, alternative designs may be worth considering.
If you are furnishing a new space or replacing chairs across a larger site and want to talk through quantities, finish coordination, or lead times, the team is happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- No — the Bristol is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to moisture, even under a covered canopy, risks damage to both the timber frame and the upholstered seat pad. If you need outdoor bar seating, a chair constructed from aluminium, resin, or treated teak would be more appropriate.
- The Bristol is not a stackable design, so it does require dedicated floor or storage space when not in use. This is worth factoring in if your venue reconfigures regularly for events or private hire.
- Rubber wood is a dense, close-grained hardwood that performs well in contract furniture applications — it holds screws and fixings firmly and is less prone to splitting or warping than softer timbers. Under heavy daily use it is a practical and cost-effective material choice, though like all timber furniture it benefits from periodic checking of joints in high-turnover environments.
