Why this sidechair earns its place
The Hanoi brings a distinctive look to a dining room: a weathered oak finish on the frame paired with Shetland smoke patterned fabric on the seat, a combination that reads as classic rather than trend-led and settles comfortably into most existing schemes. It's the kind of chair that adds personality to a room without shouting about it.
That weathered look sits on a genuinely durable base. The frame is made from rubber wood, chosen for its ability to handle day-to-day use in demanding commercial environments rather than just occasional domestic sitting, and the fabric seat brings a softer, more tactile finish than a hard or faux-leather alternative — a real consideration in a dining room where guests are seated for a while. At 890 mm high and 400 mm wide, with a gross weight of 8 kg, it's a substantial, full-size dining chair rather than a lightweight stand-in.
Practically, the Hanoi is sold as a pack of two and arrives fully assembled, so there's no build time between delivery and getting chairs on the floor. It's backed by a 1-year warranty with a further 1-year extended warranty available, and it's designed for indoor use only, which suits its role as a considered dining-room piece rather than an all-weather chair.
