Why this dining chair earns its place
The GM642 is a Bolero Bistro side chair, sold four to a pack, built around a metal frame with an ash wood seat pad. The manufacturer describes it plainly: ash wood and galvanised steel furniture, for a relaxed yet sophisticated look — and that combination is exactly what sets it apart from an all-metal café chair. The grey steel frame does the structural work while the wood seat brings warmth and comfort to what's otherwise a hard-wearing trade chair.
It's built for a working dining room. The frame is galvanised steel, so it's finished to resist the daily knocks of service — chairs pulled in and out, stacked at close, wiped down between covers — while the wood seat pad means guests aren't sitting on bare metal. At an overall footprint of 847 × 434 × 500mm and 6.6kg a chair, it's light enough to move and rearrange quickly but substantial enough to feel like proper seating rather than a folding chair.
Every chair in the pack arrives fully assembled, so there's no bench time before it's out on the floor, and the range is stackable — useful for anyone who needs the room cleared for cleaning, a different layout, or storage overnight. It's rated for indoor use.
