Why this sidechair earns its place
Where the vinyl Hanoi chairs go for wipe-clean practicality, this one goes for texture. The frame is solid rubber wood in a soft oak finish, and the seat is upholstered in a Shetland forest pattern fabric — a distinctive, patterned green that gives a venue a warmer, more layered look than a plain colourway. It's a genuinely different material story: rubber wood frame, fabric seat, built to handle the wear of a working dining room rather than to look precious.
Rubber wood is chosen for exactly that reason — it's a hard-wearing timber that stands up to the daily knocks of commercial use, and Craven backs this chair with a 1-year warranty as standard, extended to a further year on top. At 8kg and 890mm tall, it has proper dining-chair weight, and it arrives fully assembled, ready to go straight to the table.
It's an indoor chair, rated for indoor use only, so it's built for dining rooms and lounge-dining spaces rather than terraces. It's sold as a pack of two, making it easy to order in the right numbers for a table plan.
