Thame Dining Chair Weathered Oak & Shetland Scarlett Seat (6 Pack)

The Thame dining chair is a contract-specification side chair built for commercial hospitality settings. Constructed from rubberwood with a weathered oak finish, each chair in this pack of six features a padded seat upholstered in Shetland Scarlett vinyl and a solid back with a traditional profile that references mid-twentieth century dining furniture. All six chairs meet CRIB 5 fire retardancy requirements, making them suitable for use in licensed and public hospitality premises.

In practice, these chairs hold up well in settings where seating takes consistent daily use — restaurant dining rooms, hotel breakfast areas, café and bistro environments, and event or function spaces that turn covers regularly. The mortise and tenon joint construction is reinforced to resist the racking forces that build up over time in high-use seating, and the rubberwood frame is less prone to movement and splitting than some softwood alternatives used at this price point.

Key practical points for operators:

• CRIB 5 compliant — suitable for licensed hospitality premises without additional fire treatment
• Vinyl upholstery wipes clean between covers, reducing turnaround time during service
• Reinforced mortise and tenon joints improve long-term durability under daily commercial use
• Sold as a six-pack, simplifying procurement for new openings or phased refurbishments
• Traditional styling works across a range of dining room aesthetics without dominating the scheme

These chairs are floor-standing and require no installation. It is worth confirming that your flooring can accommodate rubber feet on the base, and that the seat height suits your table specification before ordering — both are worth checking if you are specifying for a new fit-out. For very high-turnover venues or outdoor-adjacent spaces, a chair with a more robust frame or a fully weatherproof finish may be worth considering.

The Thame chair is well suited to independent restaurants, hotels, café-bars, and event venues looking for a classic contract chair at a practical price point. It is a straightforward choice for mid-volume covers where appearance and compliance matter as much as durability. For venues with significantly higher daily covers or rougher handling, a heavier-duty contract chair may offer better long-term value.

If you are specifying seating for a new opening or a full room refurb and want to talk through quantities, finishes, or how these sit alongside your table choice, the team is happy to help.
