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

The Manhattan dining chair is a straightforward, well-constructed seating option suited to commercial dining rooms, hotel restaurants, cafés, and similar hospitality environments. Built from rubber wood in a soft oak finish, each chair features a curved back with vertical slat detailing and a horseshoe-shaped seat upholstered in bison tan fabric. Chairs are supplied in packs of two.

Rubber wood is a practical choice for commercial furniture. It is dense, stable under regular use, and holds up reasonably well in environments where chairs are in and out from tables throughout a service. The curved back provides a degree of lumbar support, which matters when guests are seated for longer meals rather than quick-turnaround covers.

From an operational standpoint, the Manhattan works well where operators want a chair that reads as considered and warm without requiring a significant furniture budget. The bison tan seat fabric gives a neutral but inviting look that sits comfortably alongside a range of interior palettes. Practical points to note:

• Solid rubber wood frame — more resistant to racking than hollow or laminated alternatives
• Upholstered horseshoe seat adds comfort for longer dining occasions
• Soft oak finish suits both contemporary and traditional dining room schemes
• Supplied in pairs, making quantity planning straightforward for smaller refits
• Each chair weighs 8kg — manageable for daily stacking or repositioning by front-of-house staff

As with any upholstered commercial chair, the fabric seat will require routine cleaning and is more susceptible to staining than a fully hard-wearing surface. Consider your service style and likely spillage risk before specifying these in a high-volume, fast-casual setting.

The Manhattan is well suited to independent restaurants, boutique hotels, café-bars, and function rooms where a traditional-leaning aesthetic is preferred and table turns are moderate rather than rapid. Operators fitting out larger dining spaces or requiring particularly heavy-duty seating for high-footfall venues may find a more robust specification appropriate.

If you are specifying seating across a dining room refit and want to discuss quantities, layout, or whether this chair is the right fit for your environment, the team is happy to help you work through it.
