Brouwers Black Dining Chair, Set of 2

This chair measures 16.5"W x 20"D x 36"H, with a standard seat height of 19 inches. For most standard dining tables, which typically stand 30 inches high, this provides an 11-inch gap between the seat and the tabletop. Based on our expertise in dining ergonomics, this is the ideal clearance for comfortable legroom and ease of movement during a meal.

Absolutely. With a narrow 16.5-inch width and an armless design, these chairs are specifically engineered to maximize seating in compact dining areas. Their slim profile and visually open bentwood frame prevent a room from feeling overcrowded, allowing you to fit more guests around a smaller table without sacrificing a high-end aesthetic.

These chairs are designed with straight legs for a stable and balanced seating experience. To protect your hardwood, laminate, or tile floors from potential scuffs during daily use, we recommend applying felt pads or glides to the bottom of the legs. This is a simple, proactive step to safeguard your home’s surfaces while ensuring the chairs move smoothly and quietly.

To preserve the natural cane and the deep black finish, we recommend dusting the chairs regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For spills, our care guides suggest using a lightly dampened cloth with mild soap and water, ensuring you avoid harsh chemical cleaners that could brittle the natural fibers or dull the finish. In particularly dry climates, the natural cane benefits from this occasional light moisture to maintain its strength and flexibility.

Yes, the cane used for the seating is a natural, woven material prized for its breathable nature and resilient flexibility. When paired with the sturdy bentwood frame—a construction method where wood is steamed and curved to achieve maximum strength with fewer joints—the result is a durable chair that comfortably supports daily use while maintaining its integrity.

Inspired by the shapes and textures of the Art Deco movement, the bentwood design is as ergonomic as it is stylish. By steaming and curving the wood, we create a supportive backrest that more naturally conforms to the user’s spine compared to flat-back designs. This traditional technique results in a chair that is remarkably lightweight yet exceptionally strong, offering a timeless look that fits both traditional and modern homes.
