Manhattan Dining Chair Weathered Oak & Shetland Scarlett Seat (Pack of 2)

The Manhattan is a solid rubber wood dining chair finished in a weathered oak effect, with a curved back featuring vertical slats and a horseshoe-shaped seat upholstered in Shetland Scarlett fabric. It is sold in packs of two, making it a practical choice when furnishing a dining room or hospitality space in manageable quantities.

Rubber wood is a reasonably dense, stable hardwood that holds up well under the day-to-day demands of a commercial dining environment. The framed construction and traditional slatted back give the chair a degree of rigidity that helps it remain sturdy over time, even with regular use by the public. At 8kg per chair, it is solid enough to feel substantial without being difficult to reposition during a room reset.

From an operational standpoint, the Manhattan offers a few practical advantages for hospitality and dining environments:

• Upholstered seat adds comfort for longer dining occasions without complex maintenance
• Curved back with vertical slats provides passive lumbar support for seated guests
• Weathered oak finish suits a range of interior styles, from rustic to contemporary
• Sold in pairs, allowing flexible ordering to match table configurations
• Rubber wood frame offers good durability relative to its price point

It is worth noting that upholstered seating in busy commercial environments will require more attention to hygiene and wear over time than a fully hard-surface chair. The Shetland Scarlett fabric is a fixed finish, so operators should consider whether the colour works across their broader scheme before ordering at volume.

The Manhattan suits cafés, restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and function spaces looking for a mid-range chair that balances comfort with durability. It is well suited to light-to-moderate covers rather than extremely high-turnover environments where a fully hard-wearing, wipe-clean chair might be more practical.

If you are furnishing a larger space or would like to discuss whether this chair suits your specific layout and service style, we are happy to help you work through the options before you commit.
