Product Description
The Bristol is a cross-back dining chair built from rubber wood with a padded seat, sold in pairs. The frame combines a wooden construction with a metal cross-back detail, giving it a retro bistro character that sits comfortably in casual dining rooms, café environments, and independent restaurants looking for a relaxed, lived-in aesthetic.
In practice, the Bristol suits moderate-turnover dining operations where comfort and atmosphere matter as much as throughput. The padded seat makes it a more practical choice than a bare wooden seat for guests who may be seated for extended periods — useful in venues where dwell time is part of the experience. The rubber wood frame provides reasonable durability for everyday commercial use, though it is worth noting this is a mid-weight hospitality chair rather than a heavy-duty contract piece designed for the highest-footfall environments.
A few practical points worth considering:
- Cross-back metal detail contributes to lateral stability as well as visual character
- Rubber wood frame with a saddle ash finish — suited to warm, natural interior schemes
- Padded seat increases guest comfort during longer sittings
- Designed to tuck neatly beneath standard dining tables when not in use
- Stackable for straightforward storage between service periods
At 900mm high with a 440mm width, the Bristol fits a standard dining table footprint without feeling oversized in tighter room layouts. As with any seating purchase, it is worth confirming table height compatibility and considering your floor finish before ordering — rubber feet or floor protectors are advisable on hard flooring.
The Bristol is a good fit for independent cafés, bistros, and casual dining restaurants with a relaxed interior direction. For higher-footfall venues or sites requiring heavy contract-grade durability, a more robust chair specification may be worth considering.
If you are furnishing a new dining space or want to discuss chair quantities and table coordination, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The Bristol is well suited to independent cafés, bistros, and casual dining venues with moderate footfall. It is a mid-weight hospitality chair rather than a heavy-duty contract specification, so for very high-volume sites with large daily covers and constant turnover, a heavier-duty chair build may be a more appropriate long-term investment.
- At 900mm seat-back height and 440mm width, the Bristol is proportioned for standard dining table heights. It is always worth confirming your table height against the seat height before ordering, particularly if you are mixing chairs across different table types within the same space.
- On hard flooring such as tiles, stone, or polished concrete, floor protectors or rubber feet are advisable to prevent surface marking and reduce noise during movement. This is particularly relevant in dining rooms where chairs are moved frequently throughout service.
