Manhattan Dining Chair Soft Oak & Bison Espresso Seat (Pack of 2)

The Manhattan is a side dining chair constructed from rubber wood in a soft oak finish, with an upholstered horseshoe seat covered in bison espresso fabric. It is sold in packs of two and is intended for use in commercial dining areas such as restaurants, cafés, hotel dining rooms, and staff canteens.

Rubber wood is a reasonably dense hardwood that holds up well under the day-to-day demands of a busy dining room — resistant to the minor knocks and scrapes that come with regular commercial use. The curved back with vertical slats provides enough lumbar support to keep diners comfortable during a full sitting, and the upholstered seat adds a degree of comfort without requiring the maintenance overhead of a fully padded chair.

From an operational standpoint, the Manhattan offers a practical balance of durability and appearance:

• Solid wood frame resists racking under heavy daily use
• Upholstered seat improves diner comfort without complex maintenance
• Neutral finish works across a range of interior colour schemes
• Pack-of-two format simplifies ordering for larger fit-outs
• Stackable or space-efficient storage should be confirmed before ordering larger quantities

At 8kg per chair, these are a manageable weight for front-of-house staff to reposition between sittings. The dimensions suit standard dining table heights, though it is worth checking table clearance if you are fitting out a space with fixed or bespoke furniture.

The Manhattan is well suited to small and mid-sized dining operations looking for a reliable, presentable chair at a sensible price point. For venues with very high turnover or outdoor-adjacent areas, a chair with a more weather-resistant or fully wipe-clean finish may be worth considering.

If you are fitting out a dining room and want to talk through quantities, finishes, or how this chair works alongside other furniture in the range, the team is happy to help you get the specification right before you commit.
