Product Description
The Manhattan is a fixed-height bar chair built for front-of-house use in pubs, bars, and hospitality venues. The frame is constructed from solid rubber wood in a weathered oak finish, and the padded seat is upholstered in Shetland Smoke fabric. It is designed to sit comfortably at poseur tables, drinking shelves, and bar counters.
Built to contract furniture standard, the Manhattan is intended for environments where chairs are in near-constant use across a full trading day. The solid wood construction resists the racking forces that quickly loosen joints on lighter domestic-grade furniture, and the curved back with vertical slats provides enough lumbar support to make extended seating reasonable for guests without adding unnecessary bulk to the silhouette.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical points are:
- Solid rubber wood frame suited to daily commercial use
- Contract-grade construction for durability across busy trading periods
- Padded seat with fabric upholstery balances comfort and practicality
- Curved slatted back provides support without excessive depth
- Weathered oak finish works with a range of interior schemes
It is worth noting that fabric upholstered seating requires more attention to maintenance than wipe-clean vinyl or faux-leather alternatives. In wet-led venues or areas with a high risk of spills, a different upholstery specification may be more practical for the long term.
The Manhattan suits bars, gastropubs, café-bars, and similar hospitality settings where a traditional aesthetic is appropriate. It is well suited to venues fitting out a new bar area or replacing tired existing seating. For operators needing a fully wipe-clean finish, or a lower seat height for standard dining tables, alternative options in the range may be worth considering.
If you are fitting out a space and want to talk through quantities, mix of seating types, or suitability for your layout, the team is happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The Manhattan is designed for interior use. Rubber wood and fabric upholstery are not specified for outdoor or exposed environments, so it is not recommended for terraces or beer gardens, even covered ones where condensation and humidity levels fluctuate.
- Fabric seats are comfortable and look well in traditional bar settings, but they do require more maintenance than wipe-clean alternatives. In high-spill environments, particularly wet-led pubs or venues without table service, a vinyl or faux-leather upholstery may be a more practical long-term choice.
- The Manhattan is sized for poseur or bar-height tables, which typically stand around 1000–1050mm. It is not suited to standard dining table heights. If you are specifying seating alongside new tables, it is worth confirming table height before ordering to ensure a comfortable working relationship between seat and surface.
