Thame Dining Chair Weathered Oak & Bordeaux Seat (6 Pack)

The Thame dining chair is a contract-grade side chair built for hospitality and food service environments. Constructed from rubberwood with a weathered oak finish, it takes a traditional form — solid back, clean lines, a silhouette that draws loosely on mid-twentieth century dining furniture — and builds it to withstand the demands of commercial use. The seat is upholstered in Bison Bordeaux vinyl, a deep red that works well against both neutral and darker interior schemes. This listing covers a pack of six chairs.

Rubberwood is a sensible choice for contract furniture. It is dense, stable, and resists the kind of racking and loosening that cheaper softwood frames develop over time in busy dining rooms. The mortise and tenon joinery reinforces the structure at the points of greatest stress — the seat-to-leg and back-to-seat connections — which is where poorly made hospitality chairs typically fail first. In practice, this construction holds up well under continuous daily use across multiple sittings.

Practically, the Thame offers a number of advantages for hospitality operators:

• CRIB 5 fire retardancy compliance, meeting the standard required for hospitality and licensed premises upholstery
• Vinyl upholstery wipes down quickly between covers — no fabric absorption of spills or odours
• Consistent finish across the pack, useful where matched sets matter for front-of-house presentation
• Traditional proportions suit a range of dining room layouts without dominating smaller spaces

Each chair in the pack weighs a meaningful amount — the combined pack weight is 48kg — so delivery access and storage should be considered ahead of order. The chair dimensions suit standard table heights and most commercial dining table configurations. There is no stacking function on this model, so storage space per chair is required.

The Thame is well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, pub dining areas, and similar settings where a traditional aesthetic is appropriate and durability under daily use is a priority. It is a mid-weight contract chair; very high-volume venues with multiple sittings per service and rapid turnaround may want to consider a heavier-duty or fully stackable alternative. For smaller or more casual settings, lighter options exist at a lower price point.
