Why this sidechair earns its place
The Cross is a chair built to do a lot of jobs well rather than one job perfectly. Its polypropylene shell is softly moulded, giving it a contemporary look and a genuinely comfortable seat and backrest, while the material itself is chosen for its strength — a supportive, sturdy frame rather than a lightweight stopgap. In dark grey, it reads as a neutral, adaptable finish that sits well against most interiors.
Underneath the contemporary shape is a chair built to a contract standard. It's been CATAS tested to contract quality, the kind of independent testing that confirms it's strong and durable enough for genuinely commercial use rather than just domestic wear. That backrest is a supportive part of the design too, not an afterthought — it's built into the chair's classically robust silhouette.
Because it's polypropylene rather than upholstered, the Cross is rated for both indoor and outdoor use, so it can move between a dining room and a terrace as the season and the booking demand. It's stackable up to four chairs high, which makes storing spares between services, or clearing a room for an event, genuinely straightforward. At 870mm high, 510mm wide and 510mm deep, and weighing 3.6kg, it's light enough to move around quickly but sturdy enough to hold its shape under daily use. It's sold as a pack of two and comes with a 1-year warranty.
