Both the seat and the back are cushioned on these four chairs, which is less common than it sounds; most dining chairs pad the seat and leave the back as bare wood or a hard panel. Here the backrest is upholstered and set at an angle rather than standing vertical, so the shoulders are supported and the spine can relax back into it through a long dinner instead of holding itself upright. The seat is wide and filled with high-resilience sponge, the kind that compresses under weight and springs back rather than gradually packing down into a hard hollow after a year of daily use, and it sits 18.5-in above the floor to slide under a standard table. Skin-friendly linen upholstery covers both surfaces, pleasant against bare arms in summer, and the smooth finish means a wipe with a cloth deals with most of what happens at a dinner table. Structurally the chairs are solid rubber wood with reinforced legs balancing the load, giving each a 330-lb rating. They are armless by design, so each 18-in by 20-in by 33-in chair tucks fully under the table rather than stopping short, which keeps a small room usable when four are in play, and makes them equally at home in dining rooms, kitchens, restaurants and living spaces. The four chairs weigh 41 lb together. Assembly is required, and a user manual is included.
