Thame Dining Chair Weathered Oak & Bison Cedar Seat (6 Pack)

The Thame is a contract dining chair designed for hospitality environments where seating takes daily punishment from multiple sittings, varied users, and regular cleaning cycles. Built from rubberwood with reinforced mortise and tenon joints, it draws on a traditional mid-century silhouette that suits a wide range of dining room styles — from relaxed pub dining to more formal restaurant settings. This listing is for a pack of six chairs, finished in a muted weathered oak and upholstered in Bison Cedar green vinyl.

In practice, rubberwood is a sensible choice for contract furniture. It is dense, reasonably hard-wearing, and holds joinery well — which matters when chairs are repeatedly dragged, stacked, or knocked in a busy dining room. The mortise and tenon construction is the right approach for a chair that will see sustained commercial use, as it resists the racking forces that tend to loosen cheaper dowel-jointed frames over time. The vinyl seat upholstery is straightforward to wipe down between covers, and the CRIB 5 fire retardancy rating makes it compliant for licensed and hospitality premises in the UK.

• Rubberwood frame with reinforced mortise and tenon joints for long-term durability
• Weathered oak finish suits a range of casual and mid-market dining aesthetics
• Bison Cedar green vinyl seat — wipe-clean and resistant to spills
• CRIB 5 fire retardancy compliance for UK hospitality and licensed premises
• Sold as a six-pack, suited to smaller dining rooms or supplementing existing seating

There are no installation requirements beyond basic assembly if applicable. At a combined pack weight of 48kg, delivery and in-room placement is manageable without specialist equipment. The chair's footprint is modest, making it practical for tighter dining floor plans where space between covers is limited. It is worth noting that rubberwood, while suitable for standard hospitality use, is not the most robust material available for very high-turnover operations — venues with exceptionally heavy footfall may want to consider a heavier-duty frame construction.

The Thame is a practical choice for restaurants, cafés, boutique hotels, and pub dining rooms looking for a chair that balances a traditional aesthetic with contract-grade construction at a reasonable per-unit cost. It suits mid-market settings well. For venues with more intensive seating demands or a preference for a different finish or upholstery colour, it is worth exploring the broader range before committing to a pack quantity.
