Why this sidechair earns its place
The Cross is a straightforward, hard-working side chair built for spaces that need seating that just gets on with the job — hospitality floors, student accommodation, workspaces, anywhere covers or bodies move through fast and furniture needs to keep up. It's softly moulded, so it reads as contemporary and comfortable rather than purely functional, but the substance is in the supportive, sturdy polypropylene frame underneath.
That frame carries a classically robust design with a proper supportive backrest, and it's been CATAS tested to contract quality — an independent test standard, not a marketing claim, and it's what makes this a chair you can put into commercial service with confidence rather than a domestic chair pressed into a job it wasn't built for. Being polypropylene throughout also means it shrugs off the knocks and spills that come with high-turnover use in a way that upholstered or timber-framed chairs simply can't.
It's rated for both indoor and outdoor use, which opens it up to courtyards, terraces and covered outdoor seating as well as the main dining room, and it stacks up to four chairs high for easy storage when the space is needed for something else. At 870 mm high, 510 mm wide and 3.6 kg per chair, it's genuinely light to lift and reset between covers, and it's sold as a two-pack, which suits fitting out in pairs rather than buying one at a time. It's backed by a one-year warranty from Everyday, the brand behind it.
