Rivercast Black Arm Chair, Set of 2

This chair is constructed with a solid rubberwood frame, a dense hardwood known in the furniture industry for its exceptional durability and environmental sustainability. Rubberwood is naturally resistant to warping and shrinking, ensuring that the straight-leg base remains stable and sturdy even with the frequent movement and weight shifts typical of a high-traffic dining environment.

Yes, this set of two armchairs requires customer assembly. The process is designed to be efficient and straightforward, involving securing the solid rubberwood legs to the integrated seat and back frame. Following the included manufacturer’s instructions will ensure that all components are properly aligned and tightened, which is critical for the long-term stability and weight-bearing capacity of the furniture.

The open-back design serves both an aesthetic and functional purpose. Aesthetically, it reinforces the mid-century modern theme by highlighting clean lines and negative space. Functionally, it provides better airflow for the sitter and makes the chairs easier to move and handle during assembly or when rearranging your dining layout.

With an overall height of 30 inches and an 18-inch seat height, these armchairs are designed to pair seamlessly with standard-height dining tables. To ensure a perfect fit, we recommend measuring from the floor to the bottom of your table's apron (the wood trim beneath the tabletop). Providing at least 7 inches of clearance between the armrests and the table will allow for comfortable legroom and ensure the chairs can be tucked in when not in use.

Comfort is a hallmark of this design, which features a rounded backrest that cradles the body and a fully upholstered seat and back. The curved arms provide essential upper-body support, reducing shoulder strain during extended sittings. Whether you are hosting a long holiday meal or utilizing your dining area as a temporary home office, the ergonomic wrap-around design and supportive cushioning are engineered for sustained comfort.

The upholstery is made from 100% polyester, a performance-oriented synthetic fiber that is naturally more resistant to stains and fading than cotton or linen. For everyday maintenance, we recommend regular vacuuming with a soft brush attachment to remove dust. For spills, our care guidelines suggest blotting the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. You can spot clean using a mild soap and water solution, but always avoid harsh chemical cleaners to maintain the fabric's black finish and structural integrity.

These chairs are ideally scaled for urban living and smaller footprints. Measuring 21 inches wide with a mid-century modern "open back" design, they provide the sophisticated look and support of an armchair without the visual bulk that can overwhelm a small room. The slim, straight legs and curved profile allow for a more airy feel, making them a smart choice for maximizing style in a limited space.
