Manhattan Bar Chair Soft Oak Frame with Bison Bordeaux Seat

The Manhattan is a fixed-height bar chair built to contract furniture standard, intended for commercial use in bars, pubs, restaurants, and hospitality venues. The frame is constructed from solid rubber wood in a soft oak finish, and the padded seat is upholstered in a bison bordeaux fabric. The curved back with vertical slats gives it a traditional character that sits comfortably in a range of interior styles without looking out of place.

In practice, a bar chair takes considerable daily punishment — repeated loading, dragging across hard floors, and the general wear that comes with busy service periods. The solid wood construction here is appropriate for that environment, offering the kind of structural integrity you would expect from contract-grade furniture rather than domestic equivalents. The padded seat adds a degree of comfort that encourages guests to stay longer at the bar, which matters in a drinks-led operation.

A few practical points worth considering before ordering:

• Suited to poseur tables, drinking shelves, and bar counters at standard bar height
• Rubber wood frame offers durability without excessive weight at 10kg per chair
• Bordeaux upholstery works well in traditional or warm-toned interior schemes
• Contract-grade build standard is appropriate for commercial settings
• Curved back provides lumbar support for seated bar guests

This chair is well suited to pubs, cocktail bars, hotel bars, and casual dining venues where a traditional aesthetic is part of the brief. It is not designed for outdoor use or settings requiring stacking capability. If your operation requires a higher volume of seating with more frequent repositioning, it is worth discussing higher-durability or stackable options with us.

If you have questions about quantities, colourways, or whether this chair suits your particular layout, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
