Product Description
The Bristol is a bar-height dining chair constructed from rubber wood with a dark walnut finish and a metal cross-back frame. It sits within the retro-industrial aesthetic that has become common across casual dining, café and bar environments, combining a warm timber seat and back with the structural contrast of metal detailing.
Built for contract use, the rubber wood construction is more resistant to the knocks and general wear of high-footfall service environments than many lighter furniture-grade timbers. The dark walnut finish is practical as well as decorative — it holds up reasonably well against the surface marking that comes with daily customer use, and its neutral tone means it sits comfortably alongside a range of interior colour schemes without demanding a full redesign around it.
Operationally, the Bristol suits venues where bar or counter seating forms part of the customer experience:
- Rubber wood frame rated for contract use in high-traffic settings
- Metal cross-back adds structural rigidity without adding excessive weight
- Dark walnut finish works across a range of interior styles and palettes
- 10kg chair weight keeps individual repositioning manageable for front-of-house staff
- Straightforward profile makes stacking or close-grouping practical during turnaround
As with any bar chair, it is worth confirming counter height before ordering to ensure the seat height gives comfortable legroom for your customers. The chair is warranted for one year under contract conditions, which is standard for this category at this price point.
The Bristol is well suited to independent cafés, bars, restaurant counters, and casual dining venues where a relaxed industrial-meets-traditional aesthetic fits the brand. For higher-volume or outdoor-adjacent sites, a heavier-duty or weather-resistant option may be worth considering.
If you are furnishing a full counter area or want to confirm suitability for a specific fit-out, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to quantities.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — it is rated for contract use, meaning it is designed to withstand the daily wear of commercial environments rather than occasional domestic use. Rubber wood is a reasonably durable timber for this application, though as with all wooden furniture in hospitality settings, some surface care over time will help maintain appearance.
- Bar chairs are designed for use with counters and high tables typically in the 100–110cm height range, but it is always worth measuring your specific counter before ordering. If you are unsure, our team can help you work through the seat-to-counter clearance to make sure your customers will be comfortable.
- The Bristol is designed for indoor use. Rubber wood and the dark walnut finish are not specified for outdoor or high-humidity conditions, and prolonged exposure to moisture or direct weather is likely to damage the finish and frame over time. For outdoor or semi-covered areas, a chair with a weather-resistant specification would be a more reliable choice.
