Product Description
The Bristol is a bar-height dining chair constructed from rubber wood with a weathered oak finish. The design combines a slatted wood seat and backrest with a metal cross-back frame, giving it a relaxed retro character that sits comfortably in a range of hospitality settings — from relaxed bistros and wine bars to café-bars and pub dining rooms.
Built for contract use, the Bristol is intended to withstand the repeated daily use that comes with busy front-of-house environments. Rubber wood is a practical choice for contract furniture: it is dense, reasonably hard-wearing, and takes surface finishes well. The weathered oak treatment adds a degree of visual tolerance, meaning minor scuffs and marks that accumulate with normal use tend to blend rather than stand out.
- Metal cross-back frame adds structural rigidity at bar height
- Weathered oak finish tolerates day-to-day wear without looking tired quickly
- Rubber wood construction suited to contract hospitality environments
- Versatile aesthetic works across casual dining, bar areas, and café settings
- Straightforward stacking and handling at 10kg per chair
At bar height, this chair is suited to counter seating, high tables, and bar-top arrangements. It is worth confirming your table or counter height before ordering, as bar chairs are designed for a specific seat-to-surface relationship. The chair is supplied ready for use and does not require assembly beyond any protective feet adjustment.
The Bristol suits operators furnishing casual dining or bar areas who want a practical contract chair with a relaxed, informal character. It is a reasonable choice for low-to-medium turnover venues. For very high-volume sites with rapid turnaround seating — where chairs are moved constantly throughout service — it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty specification would offer better long-term value.
If you are furnishing a full dining area or are unsure whether this chair suits your table configuration or service style, we are happy to talk it through before you place an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The Bristol is designed for indoor contract use. Rubber wood and the weathered oak finish are not intended for exposure to rain or sustained moisture, so it is not recommended for uncovered outdoor areas. A covered terrace with good airflow may be borderline, but prolonged damp conditions would shorten the chair's lifespan considerably.
- Bar chairs are designed for use with bar-height surfaces, typically in the range of 100–110cm. It is worth measuring your existing counters or tables before ordering, as using a bar-height chair at a standard dining table height will result in an uncomfortable seating position. If you are sourcing tables at the same time, we can advise on compatible pairings.
- For casual dining and bar settings with moderate turnover, the Bristol performs well as a contract chair. In very high-volume operations where chairs are moved, stacked, and reused continuously throughout a long service, a heavier-duty specification may prove more economical over time. If throughput is a key concern, it is worth discussing your operation with us before committing to a quantity.
