Why this dining chair earns its place
Bolero built this sidechair for rooms that need to look considered and survive a Friday night service anyway. The frame is solid birch, a wood chosen in contract seating precisely because it takes knocks from trays, bags and chair legs scraping back from the table without loosening at the joints — the kind of small, repeated abuse a dining room chair takes hundreds of times a week. Over that frame sits a black faux leather seat: easy to wipe down between covers, consistent in colour and finish across every unit in the pack, and free of the maintenance a natural fabric upholstery would demand.
At 940mm tall with a 510mm seat height, 405mm wide and 500mm deep, it sits at proportions built for standard dining and bistro tables rather than bar-height counters, so it slots straight into an existing covers layout without re-measuring your table height. It's rated to BS7176 Crib 5, the ignition-resistance standard specified for furniture in hotels, restaurants, bars and other public contract environments — worth knowing if your insurer or local authority asks what your seating is rated to, or if you're specifying for a licensed premises where that documentation gets checked.
It's an indoor chair, sold as a black-only sidechair in packs of two, and it arrives fully assembled — no fixings, no Allen key, no half hour on the floor of the dining room before service. Unpack it, check it, put it out. The pack ships at a gross weight of 6.1kg, light enough that restocking or moving a run of chairs between rooms doesn't need two people per chair.
