Tollefs Black Side Chair

This chair features a seat height of 17.75 inches, which is ergonomically designed to pair perfectly with standard dining tables that typically stand between 28 and 30 inches high. This height ensures ample legroom and a comfortable posture for daily meals or longer gatherings. With a width of 20 inches, these chairs are also sized to allow for comfortable elbow room when multiple units are placed around a standard rectangular or round table.

Customer assembly is required for this model. The design is engineered for straightforward home assembly, typically involving attaching the tapered legs and securing the seat to the metal frame. By handling the assembly yourself, you can ensure every bolt is tightened to your satisfaction, which helps maintain long-term stability and prevents the "wobble" that can occur with pre-assembled furniture after heavy use.

This chair utilizes a high-durability design that combines the structural integrity of a metal frame with the classic appeal of a wood seat. The metal spindles and arched backrest provide superior back support and frame stability, while the wood seat offers a sturdy, easy-to-clean surface. This material combination is particularly beneficial for high-traffic dining areas, as it resists the warping often associated with all-wood frames and the denting common in lighter materials.

Based on our furniture care expertise, we recommend dusting the metal frame and wood seat regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent debris buildup. For spills, use a slightly dampened cloth with mild soap and water, then dry immediately with a clean towel. To preserve the black finish and wood integrity, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads, which can dull the luster of the metal spindles or scratch the wood surface over time.

Yes, this chair is an excellent solution for compact living spaces. Its 20-inch width and sleek, tapered legs create a visually light footprint that prevents a small dining nook from feeling overcrowded. The armless, streamlined profile allows the chairs to be tucked further under the table when not in use, maximizing your walkable floor space—a critical consideration for apartment dwellers and breakfast nooks.
