Product Description
The Thame is a contract dining chair designed for hospitality use, combining a traditional silhouette with a construction built to withstand the demands of regular commercial service. Crafted from rubberwood with a weathered oak finish, it draws on a classic 1940s aesthetic — a solid back, clean lines, and a proportioned frame that fits comfortably in most dining layouts without appearing bulky. This listing covers a pack of six chairs, which suits operators furnishing a section or topping up an existing set.
In practice, the Thame holds up well in environments where chairs are moved frequently, stacked by floor staff, and subjected to the routine knocks of a busy dining room. The reinforced mortise and tenon joinery is the detail that matters most here — it keeps the frame rigid over time, reducing the wobble and loosening that often develops in lighter contract chairs after a year or two of heavy use.
From an operational standpoint, a few points are worth noting:
- CRIB 5 fire retardancy rating — a requirement for most licensed hospitality premises in the UK
- Vinyl upholstery on the seat pad wipes clean quickly between covers, with no fabric to absorb spills
- Rubberwood construction offers reasonable durability at this price point without the weight of hardwood alternatives
- The weathered oak finish and espresso seat work across a range of interior schemes, from pub dining to café settings
The Thame suits mid-volume restaurants, café-bars, hotel dining rooms, and similar hospitality spaces where a traditional aesthetic is preferred. It is not stackable, so storage space between services should be factored into your planning. For particularly high-turnover environments or outdoor-adjacent settings, a more robust or weather-resistant option may be worth considering.
If you are furnishing a larger space and want to talk through quantities, mix-and-match finishes, or whether this chair is the right fit for your layout, the team is happy to help before you commit to an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the Thame carries a CRIB 5 fire retardancy rating, which is the standard required for most licensed and public hospitality premises in the UK. This makes them straightforward to specify for restaurants, pub dining areas, and hotel dining rooms without needing additional upholstery treatment.
- The mortise and tenon jointing is the key structural detail — it keeps the frame from developing play at the joints, which is a common failure point in lighter contract chairs over time. For a mid-volume dining operation with one or two covers per table per service, they are a practical and reliable choice. Very high-turnover operations processing three or more covers continuously may want to consider a heavier-duty option.
- The Thame is not a stacking chair, so floor storage space will need to be accounted for when the room is cleared. If storage is limited and stacking is a priority for your operation, it is worth speaking to us about alternatives before ordering.
