About this piece

A choice like the Ernest Ladder-Back Armchair in Aluminum starts with a simple question: where will it go when the room is busy? Put 18 1/2" W x 23" D x 34 3/4" H on your room sketch for this piece. Check this 18 inches seat beneath a table near 29 to 30 inches, including any apron under the edge.

Its aluminum w wood look frame is part of the build to compare. Pick a seat surface from fabric or vinyl. The other features to check are a listed load limit of 500 lb, a recorded item weight of 19 lb, and armrests on either side. Work through metal finish with 7 possible choices, such as Espresso, Cherry, and Natural, Padded Vinyl Seat and Padded Fabric Seat among the seat type choices, and Black Nylon Glides, Plastic Adjustable Glides, Metal Adjustable Glides, and Front Casters among the glides & casters choices in the form. More boxes can appear as you make your picks.

Use roughly 24 inches of table edge per person as a first check. A chair that fits under the top can still leave guests elbow to elbow. Add the chosen version to your cafe plan so its options stay with the count. Give the schedule extra room for the version built with your chosen upholstery.

Add the following to the closing clean. A mild soap-and-water clean suits vinyl; dry afterwards and avoid bleach or solvents. Catch fabric spills with a blot, vacuum loose dirt, and check the code for any further cleaning.
