Shumway I Black Side Chair

While many side chairs prioritize style over comfort, this model features an ergonomic back and a high-density foam seat. This combination provides the necessary lumbar support and cushioning required for extended periods of sitting, whether you are hosting a formal dinner, playing board games, or using the chair at a desk in a home office.

This chair requires customer assembly. To ensure a smooth setup, we recommend clearing a dedicated space in your dining room or library before the item arrives. Measuring your entryways and doorways beforehand is a standard best practice to ensure your new furniture can be easily moved into its intended space.

This chair is designed with a standard 18.25-inch seat height, making it compatible with most dining tables while ensuring comfortable legroom. Its overall footprint of 20.5"W x 21.5"D x 30"H is purposefully compact, allowing you to maximize seating capacity without overcrowding your dining area.

Faux leather is an exceptional choice for active households because it provides the refined look of traditional upholstery with significantly higher resistance to stains and spills. Unlike fabric, which can trap pet hair and absorb liquids, this material allows for quick cleanup with a damp cloth, making it a durable solution for high-traffic family spaces.

For urban apartment living or smaller dining nooks, an armless chair is a strategic space-saver. The streamlined silhouette allows the chairs to be tucked completely under the dining table when not in use, clearing valuable floor space. Visually, the open design creates an airy feel that prevents a compact room from looking cluttered.

To maintain the modish finish of the faux leather, our experts recommend dusting the surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For spills, simply use a clean rag with warm water and a light detergent to gently blot the area. Avoiding harsh chemical cleaners will help preserve the upholstery's texture and the deep black finish of the straight legs for years to last.

The matte black finish and straight-leg design offer a versatile, modern foundation that complements various styles. For a bold, contemporary aesthetic, you can pair it with a monochromatic black table. Alternatively, these chairs provide a sophisticated contrast when placed around a light wood or glass-top dining table, helping to ground the room's design with a touch of modern refinement.
