About this piece

A choice like the Ernest Ladder-Back Chair 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. The seat is 18.5 inches high; compare it with a dining tabletop around 29 to 30 inches.

Its aluminum w wood look frame is part of the build to compare. Pick a seat surface from fabric or vinyl. A closer look adds 500 lb as the stated load limit and 15 lb listed for the piece itself to the picture. Pick 7 choices under metal finish, among them Espresso, Cherry, and Natural, choosing seat type from Padded Vinyl Seat or Padded Fabric Seat, and choosing glides & casters from Black Nylon Glides, Plastic Adjustable Glides, Metal Adjustable Glides, or Front Casters to build your version. Some choices open another field to fill in.

Mark out the chair with someone sitting on it. The morning queue needs a clear route even when the window seats are full. Put the selected options in your cafe plan with the quantity you need. Upholstery selections add build time, so make those choices early.
