Manhattan Bar Chair Dark Walnut & Bison Cedar Seat

The Manhattan is a fixed-height bar chair constructed from solid rubber wood, finished in dark walnut and fitted with a padded seat upholstered in bison cedar fabric. It is built to contract furniture standard, which means it is intended for commercial use rather than domestic settings — a distinction that matters when chairs are in constant rotation through a busy service.

In practice, the solid wood frame handles the wear of regular commercial use well. The curved back with vertical slats provides enough lumbar support to keep guests comfortable during longer visits without the chair becoming bulky or difficult to stack and store. The padded seat adds comfort without the maintenance burden of deep-cushioned alternatives, which tend to absorb spills and wear unevenly in bar environments.

A few practical points worth considering before ordering:

• Proportioned to pair with poseur tables and bar-height drinking shelves
• Solid rubber wood construction rated to contract furniture standard
• Bison cedar upholstered seat — padded but not deeply cushioned
• Curved slatted back offers support without visual bulk
• Dark walnut finish suits both traditional and contemporary bar fit-outs

At 10kg per chair, the Manhattan is a reasonably substantial piece. It is well suited to bars, pub dining areas, and hospitality venues where a traditional aesthetic is appropriate. If your fit-out requires a lighter chair for frequent repositioning, or a fully upholstered seat for longer dining occasions, it is worth considering whether a different style would better serve the space.
