Manhattan Dining Chair Dark Walnut & Shetland Smoke Seat (Pack of 2)

The Manhattan is a side dining chair constructed from rubber wood with a dark walnut finish. It features a curved back with vertical slats and a horseshoe-shaped upholstered seat covered in Shetland smoke fabric. Chairs are supplied as a pack of two.

Rubber wood is a reasonably dense hardwood that holds up well under regular commercial use. The curved back and vertical slat design gives the chair a traditional character that works well in pub dining rooms, hotel restaurants, and café environments where a classic aesthetic is preferred over more contemporary styles. The Shetland smoke fabric seat adds a degree of comfort for seated diners without requiring significant ongoing maintenance.

From a practical standpoint, the chair offers a few straightforward advantages for front-of-house operators:

• Solid rubber wood frame provides good day-to-day durability
• Traditional styling suits a wide range of dining room aesthetics
• Upholstered horseshoe seat adds seated comfort for covers
• Pack-of-two supply simplifies ordering for table settings
• Compact footprint works well in standard restaurant spacing

There are a few things worth considering before ordering. At 8kg per chair, these are not lightweight, which is worth factoring in if staff need to rearrange the dining room frequently. The fabric seat will require occasional inspection and cleaning in line with your front-of-house hygiene routine, particularly in higher-turnover environments. For venues that need a more robust or easily-wipeable seating option, a hard seat or fully sealed chair may be a more practical choice.

The Manhattan suits independent restaurants, hotel dining rooms, pub bistros, and café operators looking for a traditional-style chair with upholstered comfort at a sensible price point. It is best suited to lower-to-medium turnover covers rather than very high-volume casual dining where seating takes heavier punishment.
